1. Incentive Approval
PowerBank’s 2.6MW Elmira Solar Project in New York has been awarded $309,720 through NYSERDA’s NY-Sun program. Enrollment in the Inclusive Community Solar Adder stream could deliver up to $545,107 in additional incentives, boosting project economics and upfront cash flow.
2. Project Capacity and Impact
