Cherry Valley – November 06, 2026 -- The 7.4-megawatt (MWdc) Rockford Community Energy Initiative in Cherry Valley, Illinois, is now delivering power. It is one of the largest community solar projects in ComEd's service territory, and subscribers can cut their electricity bills by up to 10%.

Project covers 33.9 acres and supplies more than 1,100 ComEd customers

The solar array in Winnebago County generates enough electricity to power more than 1,100 ComEd customers. Households, renters and small businesses across ComEd's territory can subscribe through the community solar program without installing rooftop panels.

ECA Power, a 100% employee-owned solar and energy storage developer, built the project. Luminace is the project owner and operator, and Miller Bros. was the construction partner.

TORONTO – November 03, 2026 -- PowerBank Corporation's 3.26 MW Camillus community solar project in New York has received permission to operate, a key step toward bringing it into service. The project was sold to and built for Solar Advocate Development LLC in a transaction valued at US$7.3 million.

PowerBank builds Camillus on a closed landfill

Camillus is a ground-mount project developed on a closed landfill, converting previously underutilized land into a renewable energy site serving local households. PowerBank (Nasdaq: PBK) developed the project, and Solar Advocate Development LLC is the owner.

President and Chief Operating Officer Andrew van Doorn said engineers and construction partners turned a site "most people would write off" into a source of clean power for local households.
