Clear Blue’s Illumient Smart Off-Grid Lights Up the American Parkway in Allentown Pennsylvania
November 27 2020 - 11:20AM
Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (“Clear Blue”) (TSXV:
CBLU) (FRANKFURT: OYA), the Smart Off-Grid™ company, today
announces it has delivered over 80 Illumient Smart Off-Grid power
systems to help light a two-mile stretch of a major highway in the
City of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The project is being undertaken in
partnership with Clear Blue’s long-term regional partner,
Metro-Tech Sales & Consulting, Inc. (“Metro-Tech”), offering a
total contract value of $650,000 to Clear Blue, including $95,000
in annual revenue for the next three years from Energy-as-a-Service
(EaaS), for a total of $285,000 in recurring revenues, with gross
margins in line with what the Company has historically reported.
“We are pleased to show the versatility of Illumient Smart
Off-Grid Solar Lighting with its application to another large
highway development project in partnership with Metro-Tech,” says
Miriam Tuerk, Co-founder and CEO of Clear Blue. “This really
demonstrates the benefit of cost-effective, easy to install and
remotely manageable roadway lighting solutions for North American
cities.”
The City of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is publicly committed to
improving its highways by making them safer for motorists,
pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders. As such, the City
sought a lighting solution for the American Parkway that offered
year-round reliability – even during Pennsylvania’s cold winter
months – while also being cost-effective.
After an initial pilot phase in 2019, with an order for four
Illumient systems to demonstrate their value and reliability, the
City awarded a three-year contract to Metro-Tech and Clear Blue for
over 80 Illumient Smart Off-Grid Solar Street lighting systems and
its EaaS. All systems shipped in 2020, and installations are
expected to begin over the next few months along the American
Parkway in Allentown.
Clear Blue’s Illumient Smart Off-Grid solar streetlights
eliminate the need for trenching and grid connectivity,
significantly reducing the cost and disruptions caused by large
roadway construction projects. Illumient has been used for hundreds
of small and large projects, from city streets to private parking
lots and major highways, showcasing the versatility of applications
for this technology.
The Illumient system comes with Clear Blue’s EaaS subscription.
Using its patented Illumience cloud management, control and
maintenance platform, Clear Blue will deliver ongoing power
management and control to the City of Allentown on an annual basis
for the next three years. This system provides remote
troubleshooting, remediation and predictive weather forecasting for
maximum uptime and longest system life – all at a low cost.
This recent project for the City of Allentown follows on from
more than five major projects with Metro-Tech in 2020, showing the
demand for these Smart Off-Grid lighting solutions even in the
midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Added Tuerk: “Illumient's off-grid reliability and remote
monitoring capabilities easily translate to a lower-cost solution
that can increase America’s highway safety. We look forward to
rolling out more exciting projects with Metro-Tech in the future
and showcasing the value that Smart Off-Grid lighting can have for
cities and municipalities.”
