Clear Blue Technologies Announces Town of Eckville, Alberta Saves Money and Goes Solar with Smart Off-Grid Lights
November 05 2019 - 7:30AM
Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (“Clear Blue” or
“the Company”) (TSXV:CBLU) today announced that the Town of
Eckville, Alberta has purchased Illumient solar-powered lighting
systems. The lights will be used to illuminate Eckford
Street, (Eckville’s main street which was named in 1996 on the
town’s 75th Birthday). Based on the financial analysis done
as part of the project, the cost of using Clear Blue’s Smart
Off-Grid lights was approximately 30% cheaper than using
traditional, grid-connected lighting. In addition, the solar
lights will also result in no monthly power bill and would need
minimal concrete removal to install along the sidewalks.
“The initial reason for selecting solar was the
cost to connecting to the grid and the disruption to the streets
and construction. In addition to the cost savings, this is of
great benefit to our local businesses by avoiding construction
disruptions.” said Jack Ramsden. “And avoiding the monthly
costs that would have been due to our local power utility is an
added benefit.”
Helen Posti, Mayor of the Town of Eckville,
added, “I have been on Council since 1986 and Mayor since 1991 and
I think this is the most exciting project that Council has ever
undertaken. Council is excited about this project of Eckford
Street which was renamed after the town’s founder in 1996 on the
town’s 75th Birthday. In 2021 we will be celebrating our
100th anniversary of incorporation, so this is a timely project
given the environment and the cost are the key factors for this
decision.”
Illumient Smart Off-Grid solar lighting systems
connect wirelessly to the Internet, sending real-time information
to Clear Blue Technologies’ cloud-based software, Illumience.
This enables remote control, monitoring, and management of
the lighting systems, ensuring high reliability and low maintenance
costs. Illumience also allows service personnel to optimize
lighting profiles, such as dimming the lights during periods of
prolonged bad weather to preserve battery power, and also includes
automated monitoring and alerts.
“Using Smart Off-Grid lighting is not just
better for the environment, it makes great financial sense, as the
Town of Eckville knows,” said Miriam Tuerk, CEO and co-founder of
Clear Blue. “It also eliminates the disruption and negative
economic impact that is caused when a main street corridor
undergoes a significant construction project such as installing new
grid-connected lights. With forest fires and power outages,
Smart Off-Grid adds an extra layer of security because the lights
are on even when the power grid is off. We are so pleased to
have been selected by the Town Of Eckville for this important
project.”
Helen Posti added, “Come to Eckville where the lights are always
on.”
