en.Wedoany.com Reported - Canadian developer PowerBank recently secured a site lease agreement in upstate New York for a 5 MW AC community solar-plus-battery energy storage project. The project, named NY–Conklin Hill Rd, adopts a hybrid distributed energy model combining solar and battery storage.

PowerBank will apply for eligibility under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) incentive programs, covering both the NY-Sun solar incentive and the Retail Energy Storage incentive sub-programs. The company has initiated preliminary interconnection studies and will advance permitting and financing work upon receiving grid connection approval. Once operational, the project will supply power to the local grid, providing bill credits for residential and commercial community subscribers.

Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, PowerBank specializes in the development and operation of distributed renewable energy and energy storage projects. NYSERDA's NY-Sun program aims to deploy 6 GW of distributed solar by 2030, while the Retail Energy Storage incentive program supports the co-deployment of energy storage systems with renewable energy resources for grid interconnection.

The specific investment amount and battery storage capacity for the project have not yet been disclosed. Following the completion of interconnection studies, the subsequent construction timeline and commercial operation schedule will be clarified. This community solar-plus-storage project is expected to supply power to the local grid while providing bill credit services for residential and commercial community subscribers.
