PowerBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: 103), a leading North American energy infrastructure developer and asset owner, just marked its entry into the rapidly growing Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) market with the installation of a BESS at its SFF-06 flagship project in Cramahe, Ontario. The project, once completed, will have a 4.99 MW capacity, delivering 4.74 MW of daily contract capacity for 251 business days annually, ultimately powering Ontario’s grid with reliable, clean energy (https://ibn.fm/3KhG2).
This ambitious project is backed by a $25.8 million loan from Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), with the institution serving as Lender, Administrative and Collateral Agent, and Green Loan Structuring Agent. This, coupled with the long-term value that is the 22-year contract that PowerBank entered with the Independent Electricity System Operator (“IESO”), has bolstered the project’s viability, particularly given that it will receive a fixed capacity payment of $1,221/MW per business day, well above the $876/MW average for storage projects.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the battery storage market is projected to hit a $31.2 billion valuation by 2029, representing a 16.3% CAGR. PowerBank is positioning itself for this growth, not just with strategic acquisitions, but also with calculated investments that will stamp its position as a leader in the industry. For the Ontario project, once completed, it will transform the city’s energy landscape, blending cutting-edge technology and sustainable investment (https://ibn.fm/Tz8Pb).
The first five of nine EVLO Battery containers are already on-site, with the remaining containers expected to be delivered and installed in the next few weeks or months. PowerBank’s management is optimistic that the investment will yield significant returns in the long run. In addition, it noted that the project itself aligns with PowerBank’s mission to accelerate renewable energy adoption through strategic government incentives such as the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit, offering up to 30% reimbursements for eligible capital costs.
