NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trepwise, a New Orleans–based strategy consulting firm, is expanding its footprint and deepening its impact across the Gulf South through a partnership that will boost engagements in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and beyond. The firm is proud to announce its selection as the strategic planning partner for the Gulf Coast Eval Network (GCEval), marking an important milestone in Trepwise’s mission to empower purpose-driven organizations throughout the region.

With a people-centered, equity-driven approach, Trepwise supports mission-aligned organizations through inclusive strategic planning processes designed to unlock potential and drive sustainable impact. The firm’s growing presence across the Gulf South reflects its commitment to strengthening the social and economic fabric of communities through collaboration, innovation and shared learning.

“We are honored to partner with GCEval at this pivotal moment in their growth,” said Kevin Wilkins, founder of Trepwise. “Our work is rooted in the belief that inclusive strategy creates stronger, more resilient organizations. This partnership reinforces our vision of building capacity and connection across the Gulf South.”

Gulf Coast Eval Network (GCEval) is a nonprofit association of evaluation practitioners who support peer learning and professional development, facilitate cross referrals and joint ventures and champion evaluation as a fundamental component of quality programming. As the American Evaluation Association’s affiliate for Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, the organization is transitioning from a volunteer-led grassroots network to a structured, sustainable regional hub for equity-centered evaluation. Through this collaboration, Trepwise will guide GCEval in developing a three-year strategic plan that clarifies its mission and impact, engages its members and partners and sets a clear roadmap for the future.

Trepwise will lead a phased participatory planning process that blends stakeholder engagement, discovery and collaborative plan development. Leveraging virtual convenings and interactive tools, the process will ensure broad participation across GCEval’s diverse membership. The plan will be grounded in evaluative thinking, building measurable strategies and benchmarks that strengthen GCEval’s internal capacity well beyond this engagement.

As part of the project, Trepwise will partner with Lauren Bierbaum, a GCEval member and seasoned evaluator working nationally with nonprofit, philanthropic, governmental and quasi-governmental organizations focused on educational equity and intersectional justice.

“This partnership represents the best of what the Gulf South can do when we come together,” said Elizabeth Sweeney on behalf of GCEval’s Leadership Committee. “Trepwise’s approach aligns perfectly with our commitment to equity, collaboration and actionable impact.”

The collaboration will formally launch in early November with the formation of a Strategic Planning Steering Committee to guide the process and ensure community-driven outcomes.

Incentive payment awarded under the NYSERDA’s NY-Sun Program

TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – PowerBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: 103) (“PowerBank” or the “Company), a leader in distributed solar energy, battery storage, and clean energy infrastructure across North America, is pleased to announce that its operational 3.79 MW Geddes Solar Power Project (the “Project“) in New York State has received its Commercial Operation Payment of $1.47 million USD through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) NY-Sun Program. The Project qualified for the Megawatt Block, Community Adder, and Landfill/Brownfield Adder under the program.  The Project is also expected to receive an additional $245 thousand USD through the Inclusive Community Solar Adder, also through NY-Sun.

The NY-Sun Program is a public-private partnership that aims to drive growth in the solar industry and make solar technology more affordable for all New Yorkers. Led by NYSERDA, the program provides incentives and financing to expand solar adoption for homes, businesses, and communities, while supporting local job creation and advancing the state’s clean energy goals. The Community Adder is designed to accelerate the growth of community solar projects by providing additional financial incentives for developers. It is only awarded to Community Distributed Generation Projects that are ineligible for the Market Transition Credit or Community Credit. The Landfill/Brownfield Adder is available for ground-mounted solar electric systems on brownfields or landfills for nonresidential and commercial/industrial projects. The Inclusive Community Solar Adder (ICSA) is for community solar projects that serve subscribers who earn low-to-moderate incomes or live in affordable housing and other facilities serving disadvantaged communities. The ICSA aims to make community solar and the associated electricity bill savings accessible to these communities, and to reduce operating costs for affordable housing and non-profit organizations that serve disadvantaged communities.

The Geddes Project is built on a closed landfill and delivers enough energy to power approximately 450 homes annually. The Project is operating as a community solar project. Community solar is a solar photovoltaic system interconnected directly to the local electricity grid via distribution lines. Once the system is placed into service by the utility and generating electricity, clean energy from the site feeds into the local power grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters, homeowners and electricity customers can save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, a homeowner earns credits on their electric bill every month from their portion of the solar that’s generated by the project, accessing the benefits of solar without installing panels on their home. This allows homeowners to realize a reduced cost per kW/hour from the power they consume versus standard utility rates.

PowerBank’s proven expertise, with over 100 MW of completed projects and a development pipeline exceeding 1 GW, underpins the project’s execution. Strategic partnerships and institutional-grade development capabilities position PowerBank to deliver reliable, high-impact renewable energy solutions.

The Geddes Project advances New York’s path to 10 GW of solar by 2030. The State leads the United States in community solar capacity, having achieved the New York State Climate Act 6 GW solar goal in the fall of 2024.

TORONTO, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – Denison Mines Corp. (“Denison” or the “Company“) (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN) acknowledges an application for judicial review (the “Application”) filed in the Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan by the Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (“PBCN”) against the Government of Saskatchewan and the Company. PDF Version

Pursuant to the Application, PBCN seeks an order setting aside the Provincial Ministerial approval under The Environmental Assessment Act (Saskatchewan) allowing Denison to proceed with the construction of a new uranium mine and processing plant at the Wheeler River Project (the “Project”) and remitting the decision back to the Saskatchewan Minister of the Environment for reconsideration. The Application asserts that the Government of Saskatchewan breached its duty to consult with PBCN and is required to further consult with PBCN regarding the Project.

Denison has undertaken and continues to undertake extensive and impactful Indigenous engagement and consultation efforts with respect to the Project. Denison further believes the Government of Saskatchewan undertook a thorough and meaningful consultation process in advance of the Project’s Ministerial approval.

PBCN was provided with an opportunity to review the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Project starting in November 2022, and Denison has directly engaged with PBCN since March 2023, when Denison first became aware of PBCN’s interest in the Project.  Denison was not made aware of PBCN’s intention to seek a judicial review and recently executed an environmental monitoring and capacity agreement with PBCN to support their independent environmental monitoring activities.

Denison is committed to reconciliation and works hard to listen to the perspectives of various interested parties, including PBCN, with whom Denison intends to maintain open communication. We value Indigenous knowledge and insight, and have sought to incorporate Indigenous knowledge into our Project planning processes, to ensure that our activities are designed to minimize impacts, wherever possible.

With respect to the Application, Denison denies the claims made, and intends to refute several of the factual statements and vigorously defend against the orders requested.

• 6 GW of Clean Energy, Enough to Power New York City, to Be Removed from Public Grid Demand, Empowering National Security While Protecting American Pocketbooks
• Fermi Site is the Go-To for Companies Seeking to Protect Consumers from Rising Utility Costs, While Ensuring Low Emissions

AMARILLO, Texas, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fermi America™ (Nasdaq: FRMI) in partnership with the Texas Tech University System, announced the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)’s preliminary approval of 6 GW of clean natural gas-based power generation, of the projected 11 GW campus, which will make Project Matador one of the largest clean natural gas power generation facilities in the world.

The approval — subject to a formal meeting and ongoing process for public input — places Texas at the forefront of a historic shift in how America powers the future of AI, answering President Donald Trump’s call for energy and AI dominance, and Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s charge to ensure national security, while not burdening consumers with higher utility prices. 

Understanding that the United States faces an energy arms race for the computing power that defines global leadership in defense, data, and AI, Fermi America is building its Panhandle private grid campus in real time.  

Fermi’s, the federal government’s, and Texas’s collaborative sense of urgency is not about powering apps on smartphones, e-commerce websites, and robotics, but because America’s entire infrastructure, including law enforcement, military operations, banking and finance networks, communication, transportation, education, healthcare, and energy grids, all rely on cloud computing power. 

“The era of burdensome permitting processes stalling critical infrastructure is over,” stated Texas Tech University System Board of Regents Chairman Cody Campbell. “Project Matador aligns directly with President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Orders on energy security and AI leadership. This creates an unprecedented opportunity for public and private sectors to work together to strengthen the grid, protect taxpayers, and secure America’s AI future—without delay. With Governor Abbott’s leadership and TCEQ’s accelerated work on next-generation power and responsible, timely regulation, while ensuring low-emission projects, Texas is once again leading the way.”

Co-Founder of Fermi America and former U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, emphasized, “Energy independence is not just an economic issue — it’s a matter of national security. President Trump and Governor Abbott are men of action, and they expect the private sector to provide answers, not power points. At Fermi, we are proud to be building this campus in real time to meet the needs of the country.”   

As Fermi America’s clean natural gas project comes online, 6 GW of power demand will not have to be drawn from the U.S. grid — enough energy, on average, to power New York City. Instead, Fermi will utilize minimal grid power as it ramps up in the coming months, until the initial gas generators, which are already en route to the campus, are installed and online in 2026. The entire premise behind the 11 GW private HyperGrid campus being built on clean natural gas, nuclear, solar, and battery power is that the nation’s grid cannot grow fast enough to keep pace with the AI race, nor should consumers be expected to foot the bill through rising utility rates to support the most successful companies in the world.  

“Hardworking Americans are tired of watching electricity costs rise while the grid ages,” added Toby Neugebauer, CEO and Co-Founder of Fermi America. “At Fermi, our private grid model ensures that the growing demand for AI is met privately — freeing up power on the public utilities to serve homes, schools, hospitals, and small businesses as intended. Together with our partners, we’re building one of the cleanest, most efficient power fleets in the world, driven by American innovation — without asking taxpayers to foot the energy bill for the world’s largest, highest-margin companies.”   

Fermi America plans to integrate zero emissions solar into its power supply plan and utilize the latest technology and hybrid cooling systems, ensuring protection of air quality and water conservation. Additionally, Fermi’s air quality analysis shows that the project meets all federal and state air quality, odor and health effect standards, ensuring that air quality is protective of all Carson County residents.
