SolarBank Corporation announced on November 5, 2024, its plans to develop a 3.1 MW DC ground-mount solar power project, known as the West Petpeswick project, in Nova Scotia. This project is a new addition to the company's expanding portfolio of community solar initiatives in the province, where an additional 31 MW of solar projects are planned.
The West Petpeswick project is being developed under the Nova Scotia Community Solar Program, which supports the province's goal of achieving 80% renewable energy by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2035. The project is owned by AI Renewable and is expected to power approximately 290 homes annually.
SolarBank has secured a site lease and is working to complete the permitting process for the project. Community solar projects allow local residents to benefit from clean energy and earn credits on their electricity bills without needing to install solar panels on their own properties.
