Co-locate supply and demand

Our fuel cell plants can be configured as microgrids, supplying power to the grid during normal operation and islanding to provide power in the event of a disturbance. This ensures a constant power supply for critical infrastructure.

Through our Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), customers can add a fuel cell microgrid to their facility without the upfront investment. We offer ongoing service, support, and monitoring to assure your asset will continue to run at peak performance.

Powering critical facilities

A 2.2 MW fuel cell microgrid in Woodbridge, Connecticut provides power to a local high school and other nearby buildings. During power outages, the fuel cell switches to microgrid mode to provide reliable and uninterrupted power to seven critical town facilities.

The fuel cell microgrid in Woodbridge also supplies heat to the local high school. When configured for combined heat and power (CHP), the overall system efficiency increases, using fewer resources to produce more power.
