Clear Blue Technologies Delivers Green Energy for Hy-Vee
April 09 2021 - 7:30AM
Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (“Clear Blue”) (TSXV:
CBLU, FRANKFURT: 0YA), the Smart Off-Grid™ company, today announces
3 new store projects with the US-based supermarket chain Hy-Vee.
After 6 years, this will bring the total store count to 16 across
Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri that have implemented Illumient Smart
Off-Grid Lighting from Clear Blue. The most recent orders were for
over $80,000 CAD and includes approximately $15,000 in a
three-year, Energy-as-a-Service recurring revenue
contract.
Founded in 1930, Hy-Vee is an employee-owned supermarket chain
of more than 240 stores located throughout the Midwestern United
States in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Wisconsin.
“We are proud to work with Hy-Vee by providing Illumient Smart
off-grid streetlights to improve the safety and comfort of
customers in their parking lots,” said Miriam Tuerk, Co-Founder and
CEO of Clear Blue Technologies. “Not only does Illumient offer
clean, reliable lighting, but the off-grid technology doesn’t
require connecting to costly grid infrastructure and provides
enhanced security by providing resilient off-grid lighting even
when grid power grid is out.”
Hy-Vee has a long-standing commitment to environmental
sustainability and has been deploying Clear Blue’s Illumient
off-grid streetlights since 2015 in multiple phases to provide
clean, low-cost and reliable lighting for its parking lots. The
first installations were highly successful and Hy-Vee has therefore
continued to roll out projects across other stores, in multiple
states.
John Brehm, Director, Site Planning at Hy-Vee stated: “As one of
the top 25 supermarket chains in the country, we recognize that
being a good steward of the environment is more than simply
recycling pop cans. We are uniquely positioned to lead the way in
terms of sustainability and we’re focused on being proactive in
this area, not because a government regulation instructs us to do
so, but because it’s the right thing to do.”
By the end of 2021, parking lots at 16 of Hy-Vee’s stores will
have Clear Blue Smart Off-Grid Illumient lighting, and the
supermarket chain has implemented a variety of options to suit the
needs of its consumers, from basic solar-powered streetlights, to
solar-wind hybrid lights and income generating advertising lights.
These banners are used to highlight the electric vehicle charging
system next to it, further showcasing Hy-Vee’s commitment to
sustainability and recognition of the growing trend towards clean
technology.
Adds Tuerk, “It is great to work with a customer who recognizes
the value of Smart Off-Grid lighting and one who is committed to
environmental sustainability. We hope that other supermarket chains
will see Hy-Vee’s actions as an easy step that they too can take
towards reducing their environmental impact. With Smart Off-Grid
Illumient lighting, stores can also better ensure safety and
comfort for their customers with bright, reliable off-grid
lighting. We look forward to a long partnership with Hy-Vee.”
