Clear Blue Technologies Helps Solve Grid Infrastructure Issues in Fifth Project with the City of Toronto for Smart Off-Grid S...
October 22 2020 - 6:30AM
Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: CBLU) (‘Clear
Blue’) has completed a critical project with the Kingsway Business
Improvement Association (BIA) and the City of Toronto to install
Illumient Smart Off-Grid lighting in Toronto. This project marks
Clear Blue’s fifth project with Toronto BIAs as Clear Blue
continues to prove Smart Off-Grid is the best solution for mission
critical infrastructure.
Clear Blue has a history of completing Smart
Off-Grid lighting projects for various BIAs across Toronto. Clear
Blue’s product, Illumient, and its Energy-as-a-Service has proven
its value in areas where infrastructure is damaged, unavailable or
cost-prohibitive. With lower upfront installation costs, it also
provides ongoing remote power management while beautifying
Toronto’s communities.
Starting in 2014, Clear Blue implemented a
two-phase project in Koreatown, followed by Bloor West Village,
then midtown on the Beltline by Yonge street. This continued, and
growing history with the City of Toronto and BIAs shows the proven
success of Clear Blue’s Smart Off-Grid Lighting.
Clear Blue’s project with the Kingsway began
with something that is seen more and more – damaged grid
infrastructure that is cost-prohibitive to repair and lacks
redundancy. Wildfires, floods and hurricanes are causing massive
damage to the electricity grid as the impact of climate change
becomes more evident. Building more resilient solutions is now a
key focus of governments around the world. For this project, a fire
had destroyed a part of the electrical infrastructure needed for
the grid-based street lighting. The Kingsway BIA required a
state-of-the-art system that provided adequate lighting without
costly repairs to the grid infrastructure. It also required a
solution that provided strength and durability while still looking
attractive. Clear Blue’s Smart Off-Grid lighting solution,
Illumient, was the winning solution for this application. The
project included 24 systems in a mesh network and was completed in
2020. “The Kingsway BIA needed to replace its lighting
system and had several priorities when selecting a new
system. The BIA wanted a low-maintenance, sustainable,
and environmental-friendly solution. They also preferred to use
attractive, robust materials and, as such, wanted resilient fluted
concrete poles with banner and hanging basket hardware to
complement the community aesthetic. Further, the BIA
wanted a less disruptive design that provided the ability to
maintain safe access to businesses during construction. A
representative for the Kingsway BIA commented, "Clear Blue
Technologies' Smart Off-Grid solar-powered streetlights exceeded
these requirements and they were chosen for the contract. The
Kingsway BIA is very pleased with the results of the project."
“We are proud that Clear Blue’s Smart Off-Grid
solar lighting was able to help our local community in ensuring
safety where electrical infrastructure was a challenge. We are also
thrilled to be working with another of Toronto's BIAs,” said Miriam
Tuerk, CEO of Clear Blue. “The City of Toronto has been a key
client for us since our inception and we are honoured to have been
awarded this fifth project with them.”
