Clear Blue Technologies has announced that it will launch three new stores in partnership with U.S. supermarket chain Hy-Vee.

So far, Clear Blue has helped launch 13 stores in six years using its Illumient smart off-grid lighting. The new Hy-Vee stores will bring the total to 16 stores across Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri.

Hy-Vee is an employee-owned supermarket chain of more than 240 stores located throughout the Midwestern United States.

John Brehm, Director of 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.”

Hy-Vee has a long-standing commitment to environmental sustainability and has been deploying Clear Blue’s Illumient off-grid streetlights since 2015 to provide clean, low-cost and reliable lighting for its parking lots.

The chain has also implemented charging stations for electric vehicles at its stores that are advertised on banners lit with solar-wind hybrid energy.

Miriam Tuerk, Co-Founder and CEO of Clear Blue Technologies, commented,

“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 the grid power grid is out.”

Clear Blue Technologies International, the Smart Off-Grid company, was founded on a vision of delivering clean, managed, “wireless power” to meet the global need for reliable, low-cost, solar and hybrid power.

Clear Blue Technologies (CBLU) is up 1.75 per cent and is currently trading for C$0.58 per share as of 9:31 am ET.
