CLEAR BLUE SIGNS NOTICE OF AWARD WITH GROWTH ENERGY FOR DIESEL REPLACEMENT PROJECT IN AFRICA
Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. has executed a notice of award agreement with Growth Energy, a company that specializes in the development, EPC (engineering, procurement and construction), and O&M (operation and maintenance) for clean energy power plants in Africa.
Growth Energy has chosen Clear Blue as its OEM (original equipment manufacturing) partner and Clear Blue's Esite-Micro power technology, along with its patented Illumience smart power management service, to power a network of telecom sites in Africa. The region faces significant cost and availability challenges with diesel fuel. Consequently, the customer will convert a network of cellphone towers to solar, ensuring clean and reliable solar energy to support critical telecom services. The project is in the final stages of contract negotiations, with preparation for financing disbursement and commencement of the EPC phase currently under way. Phase 1 of the project is scheduled to ship in 2024, with two additional phases planned thereafter, totalling a potential $4-million across three phases from 2024 through 2026.
Miriam Tuerk, chief executive officer of Clear Blue, stated: "This project is an example of the African continentwide shift towards replacing expensive and polluting diesel generator-based systems with ecofriendly and cost-effective solar energy. Clear Blue's Smart Power technology, with its advanced energy forecasting and management capabilities, was crucial to making this project viable and in meeting the uptime and performance targets of the customer."
John Okoro, managing director of Growth Energy, commented: "We are pleased with the responsiveness, teamwork and professionalism displayed thus far by the Clear Blue team and their technical expertise on off-grid telecom systems and their Esite-Micro product and Illumience Cloud management service, which is evident in their ability to provide the needed performance warranties. Our alignment on the design-to-cost approach while ensuring the highest levels of quality assurance were critical to being able to meet the aggressive cost targets of the project, and Clearblue demonstrated a good understanding and mastery of this approach. As a technology company with capacity to also operate and manage systems for their customers, Clear Blue will be involved in supporting Growth Energy's operation and maintenance teams during the long-term operation and maintenance, ensuring the project exceeds performance expectations and delivers guaranteed long-term benefits."
