Creates Cloud-Based Software Platform to Seamlessly Connect Users, EVs and their Utilities to Electricity Grids Across Canada Creating a Pan-Canadian Pool of EV-Enabled Storage for Off Taking Renewable Energy

OTTAWA, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / BluWave-ai announced the launch of the Pan-Canadian BluWave-ai EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube, a cloud-based platform designed to transform the country’s electric vehicles (EV) into a massive distributed energy storage network. The platform seamlessly connects EV drivers and their vehicles with utilities and grids across Canada, creating a virtual pool of EV-enabled storage that far exceeds the scale of planned utility deployments.

Currently, Canada’s electricity infrastructure operates largely as isolated provincial grids. As EV adoption accelerates, unmanaged charging threatens to overwhelm local grids; especially in urban centers. The BluWave-ai EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube addresses this by creating a unified, cross-country cloud platform that coordinates EV energy use across Canada, leveraging the investments made by private EV owners.

BluWave-ai automatically charges EVs using real-time AI deployed on the platform when surplus renewable power is available locally (such as during periods of high solar or wind generation) and likewise pauses or delays charging in areas where the grid is under stress. Participating utilities can send localized congestion signals, enabling the platform to adjust charging behavior dynamically across thousands of vehicles. EV drivers who opt-in to the platform receive rewards while helping balance the grid.

According to Statistics Canada, over one million EVs will be on Canadian roads in 2025. This collective pool of EVs, if coordinated across the country, can provide 1.1 GW of demand response power at any point and 88GWh of storage on a weekly basis.*

“As of January 2024, all electricity grids in Canada combined for only 356MW of storage according to CANREA, which roughly implies EV based storage in the 2.5-3x magnitude of utility scale storage in Canadian grids.” said Devashish Paul, CEO and Founder of BluWave-ai. “Prior to this, there was no standardized way for EV users to connect with utilities, and no automated system to balance driver needs with the provincial grids’ stability on a country-wide scale. Using deep tech AI systems, we created and launched this platform to unify electrified transportation and smart grids into the Pan-Canadian energy corridor, harnessing the power of citizen-owned assets to build a more resilient and renewable-powered country.”

How the Infrastructure Cube Works

The BluWave-ai EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube is a cloud platform that prevents grid overload from simultaneous EV charging in congested areas and by off taking excess renewables during periods of high generation and low loads through AI managed energy flow.

Visualized as a cube, the platform connects four key faces of the energy ecosystem:

• EV Users: Individual drivers can onboard to the platform to receive rewards and benefits.

• Electric Vehicles: The system is compatible with major EV brands, including Hyundai, Kia, Tesla, MINI, Jaguar, and BMW, using their native telematics with more on the roadmap, including delivery EV’s and large transit

• Utility Providers: Local utilities can register to send real-time data on grid congestion, enabling automated load management.

• System Operators: The platform provides a macro-level view, allowing system-wide grid constraints to be managed effectively with live feeds of electricity loads and generation types streamed into the system.

Any combination of the above can work 24×7 with our AI-based automated management taking into account the needs and limitations from all sides.

At the intersection from any direction are unique AI predictors and optimizers working in real-time to balance and optimize the needs of all parties – from individual driver preferences to the needs of local utilities rolled up to system-level grid stability. The underlying technology is supported by a suite of 36 patents filed with the USPTO, 10 of which have been granted and specifically USPTO pending patent: 18/806,264 and Canada pending patent 3,258,465 which support the system to connect both personal EV’s and EV Fleets seamlessly to grids.

The BluWave-ai EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube builds on the successful deployment of the BluWave-ai EV Everywhere platform and Canada’s first ever AI-enabled aggregated EV demand response conducted in the Hydro Ottawa utility in the IESO grid in Ontario, Canada.

Industry Leaders Welcome Pan-Canadian Energy Storage Platform

“BluWave-ai is a shining example of the Nation of Builders we’re cultivating in Canada -ambitious founders creating frontier technologies with global relevance,” said Claudio Rojas, CEO of the National Angel Capital Organization (NACO). “Their selection as a NACO Moonshots Venture underscores our belief that Canadian-led innovation can power a more self-reliant, resilient, and prosperous future. The release of the Pan-Canadian EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube is a powerful reflection of this vision-scaling AI-enabled platforms that enhance grid resilience, accelerate the energy transition, and reinforce Canada’s digital and economic sovereignty.”

“BluWave-ai has delivered another creative energy solution to a challenging problem opening the way to EV mass adoption, while increasing clean energy access’ said Suzanne Grant, executive Director of Capital Angel Network (CAN), the largest group of early stage private angel investors in the National Capital Region,” said Suzanne Grant, Executive Director of Capital Angels Network, “BluWave-ai has another first of its kind ‘Built in Canada for the World’ solution in the hot energy storage market. Their solutions are being adopted by energy utilities as part of the critical infrastructure grid key to Canada’s energy superpower aspirations. CAN investors shared BluWave-ai’s vision since supporting their oversubscribed $1.3M Pre Seed Round in 2019 and participating in their 2022 $9.5M Series A round to scale their (now successful) international deployments’ added Grant, ‘CAN angels believe in Canadians investing in Canadians and are bringing valuable mentorship, network, as well as, personal risk capital as partners with Canadian founders building for scale and impact”

“Invest Ottawa is proud to collaborate with BluWave-ai-a bold Canadian scale-up harnessing AI to deliver sustainable energy solutions with global impact. The new EV Everywhere Infrastructure Cube exemplifies triple-bottom-line innovation,” said Sonya Shorey, CEO at Invest Ottawa, ” It drives economic growth, strengthens our national energy resilience, and accelerates our transition to a clean, inclusive future. This is the kind of leadership we need to build a strong, sustainable Canadian economy.”

How to Join the Platform

• For EV Drivers: Drivers in Canada and the US can join the network by downloading the EV Everywhere mobile app v2.0 and linking their vehicle to receive rewards and gain insights into their energy use. The app offers features for optimized charging, cost savings, and carbon footprint reduction.

  • Download for Android

  • Download for iPhone

• For Utilities and System Operators: Interested parties can become collaborators through standardized APIs for real-time data exchange. The platform is hosted in Canada and can be accessed by contacting BluWave-ai at info@bluwave-ai.com.

Clear Start Tax Explains Why Not Everyone Qualifies for IRS Fresh Start, and What It Really Takes to Settle Tax Debt for Less

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / The IRS Fresh Start Program has helped many taxpayers resolve overwhelming tax debt, but according to Clear Start Tax, widespread myths continue to mislead the public about who actually qualifies. While many companies advertise Fresh Start as a guaranteed solution, the reality is that eligibility depends on strict financial guidelines that the IRS carefully evaluates.

“Fresh Start can absolutely provide life-changing relief, but not everyone qualifies automatically,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Too often, people are told they’re eligible without anyone reviewing their full financial picture.”

The Biggest Myth: Everyone Qualifies

Clear Start Tax says the most common misunderstanding is that Fresh Start is an open invitation for anyone who owes back taxes to settle for pennies on the dollar. In truth, Fresh Start is a collection of IRS programs – such as Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, and Currently Not Collectible status – each with its own eligibility rules.

“The IRS doesn’t approve Fresh Start offers based on how much you owe. They approve based on how much you can actually pay,” the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax explains.

What the IRS Looks at to Determine Eligibility

The IRS reviews every applicant’s financial situation in detail. Key factors include:

• Income: Wages, self-employment, retirement income, and household earnings

• Assets: Equity in real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, retirement funds, and investments

• Expenses: Necessary living costs including housing, food, insurance, medical expenses, and dependents

• Household Size: How many people rely on the taxpayer’s income

• Age and Health: Retirement status or medical conditions may impact financial analysis

The IRS calculates a taxpayer’s “reasonable collection potential” based on these factors to decide whether full or partial settlement is allowed.

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

How Clear Start Tax Builds Strong Cases

Because the IRS process is heavily document-driven, Clear Start Tax takes a hands-on approach to preparing each Fresh Start application. Their team:

• Conducts full financial reviews to uncover eligibility

• Collects and organizes required documentation

• Calculates accurate offer amounts based on IRS formulas

• Communicates directly with the IRS on the client’s behalf

• Protects clients from submitting unrealistic or non-compliant offers

“The goal isn’t just to submit paperwork, but to submit a proposal the IRS will actually accept,” the Head of Client Solutions added. “That’s where professional preparation makes all the difference.”

Beware of Companies That Overpromise

Clear Start Tax also warns taxpayers to be cautious of companies that promote guaranteed Fresh Start approvals or claim every debt can be settled for next to nothing.

“If someone promises you guaranteed Fresh Start approval before reviewing your full financial profile, that’s a red flag,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “The IRS does not accept every offer, and submitting weak or incomplete proposals can lead to unnecessary delays and additional financial consequences.”

About Clear Start Tax

Clear Start Tax is a full-service tax liability resolution firm that serves taxpayers throughout the United States. The company specializes in assisting individuals and businesses with a wide range of IRS and state tax issues, including back taxes, wage garnishment relief, IRS appeals, and offers in compromise.

• Original Oil in Place (“OOIP”) was 210 million barrels of oil with 30 million barrels produced to date. EON Energy believes 15 million barrels of recoverable reserves can be developed with existing well recompletions and new well drilling.

• The property EON Energy is acquiring includes 5,360 leasehold acres with a total of 208 wells comprised of half being oil producing and the other half being water injection wells. There are 19 active oil producing wells.

• Producing zones in the South Justis Field are at a depth of 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in the Glorietta, Blinebry, Tubb, Drinkard and Fusselman intervals.

• Approximate working interest acquired is 94% with a net revenue interest of 82%.

South Justis History and Planned Development:

• The initial production from the SJF in the 1960’s was 6,000 BOPD, indicating good potential for high primary production rates from recompletions into untapped behind pipe pay zones, along with newly drilled wells.

• The South Justis Field historically has had a low decline rate curve. The South Justis Field produced a very steady 250 BOPD before wells went offline due to mechanical issues.

• Within the last three months, the Seller repaired and reactivated 6 wells to production adding 50 BOPD with minimal costs. This is EON Energy’s same strategy to increase South Justis oil production.

• The EON Energy team plans to return 30 wells this year to production with an expected average of 5-10 BOPD per well, yielding field wide production of 250 to 400 BOPD.

• EON Energy will combine lessons learned by the Seller and from the Company’s well stimulation experience in the Grayburg-Jackson field, to develop the SJF.

• Seller will operate SJF for the next few months for the benefit of EON Energy, with existing field employees transitioning to EON Energy.

“Step one in development of South Justis Field is to return idle wells to production to double oil production. Step two is to stimulate existing wellbores using the same techniques the Company successfully employs in our Grayburg Jackson Field,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of the Company. “We also plan to seek a drilling partner who will bring the necessary capital and expertise to develop the South Justis Field, with the same approach we are taking with our Grayburg Jackson Oil Field.”

“To help realize the South Justis Field potential, EON Energy has contracted with an affiliate of the Seller to provide an experienced workover crew and workover rig familiar with the SJF – the same team that already more than doubled South Justis oil production,” said Jesse Allen, Vice President of Operations for the Company. “As was done for our Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field, we plan to commission a 3rd party study to optimize our development of the South Justis Field. Our in-house technical team’s work gave us strong encouragement to purchase the field.”

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSXV:OGO)(OTC PINK:OGOFF) (“Organto” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, as part of its efforts to reduce debt and increase equity in the Company, it has completed the previously announced settlement (the “Settlement“) of its 8.0% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due November 30, 2026 with an aggregate face value of C$8,050,000 (the “Debentures“) (see the Company’s news releases dated May 1, 2025, March 30, 2025, and March 11, 2025).

Under the terms of the Settlement, all outstanding Debentures (including all principal amounts and all accrued and unpaid interest owing thereunder) were exchanged for the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 40,250,000 common shares of the Company (the “Settlement Shares“) at an issue price of $0.20 per Settlement Share for an aggregate issue price of $8,050,000. Each Debenture holder received the number of Settlement Shares that is equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures held by such Debenture holder divided by $0.20.

The Settlement Shares are subject to contractual restrictions on transfer whereby such shares will be released over a 30-month period from June 11, 2025, being the date of issuance of the Settlement Shares (the “Issue Date“) as follows:

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 21 months following the Issue Date;

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 24 months following the Issue Date;

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 27 months following the Issue Date; and

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 30 months following the Issue Date.

Steve Bromley, Chair and CEO commented “We are extremely pleased to complete the settlement of the Debentures, which aligns with our efforts to reduce debt and increase equity in the Company. Following this Settlement, the Company has approximately C$2.6 million of debt outstanding, and when combined with the recent completion of our $5.3 million private placement and our record first quarter 2025 financial results, we are truly excited by our future prospects. We remain intently committed to building a world-class foods company serving growing healthy foods markets, with the goal of creating long-term value for our operating partners, customers, team members and shareholders. We appreciate the support and understanding we have received from so many of our shareholders, debenture holders and key operating partners and are confident that we are well positioned for a successful future.”

Prior to completion of the Settlement, Debenture holders representing 68.89% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures provided written consent in favor of a resolution approving the Settlement, which exceeded the 66.7% threshold required under the trust indenture governing the Debentures. As a result, a meeting of Debenture holders to approve the Settlement was not necessary.

In accordance with the terms of a Corporate Finance Advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement“) between the Company and Jaluca Limited (“Jaluca“), the Company retained Jaluca to provide guidance and assistance in negotiating and implementing the overall restructuring of the Company, including the reduction of the Company’s substantial debts and refinancing (see news release dated March 20, 2025). As disclosed in the Company’s March 20, 2025 news release the Advisory Agreement provided for the payment of various fees, including a monthly fee and success-based fees. For its assistance in negotiating and implementing the Debenture restructuring and settlement, the Company agreed, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“)and disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSXV, to pay Jaluca a fee equal to 6% of the total amount of settled Debentures, excluding any Debentures held by Jaluca (the “Fee“). As a result, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 4,380,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share in full payment of this obligation. The Company plans to immediately seek shareholder approval for the issuance of these common shares.
