1. Fiscal 2025 IPP Strategy and Asset Growth
PowerBank rebranded from SolarBank in July 2025, reflecting a shift to renewable energy and digital infrastructure. Its IPP strategy lifted owned-asset revenues 1,508% to $9.3 million in fiscal 2025 and grew total assets 253% following the Solar Flow-Through Funds acquisition.
2. New Project Procurement and Federal Credits
In December 2025, PowerBank executed equipment procurement for 15 distributed solar and storage projects across New York, totaling 67 MW DC solar generation and 11 MWh battery capacity. These $168 million developments qualify for $65 million in federal Investment Tax Credits under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025.
3. Financing and Market Expansion
The company secured an $8 million revolving credit facility to support interconnection deposits for an initial 50 MW of New York projects and advanced a 4.99 MW battery energy storage system in Ontario expected online in early 2026. Its development pipeline now exceeds 1 GW with over 100 MW of completed projects, and it holds significant share in Nova Scotia's Community Solar Program.
4. Space-Based Computing Collaboration
Collaboration with Orbit AI led to the November 2025 launch of the DeStarlink Genesis-1 satellite, enabling solar-powered AI computing in low-Earth orbit. Genesis-1 is actively running AI models in space, demonstrating the technical feasibility of renewable energy–enabled orbital data centers.
