Congressional delegations urges release of federal grant for Danbury company

5th District Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty is urging Department of Energy Secretary Rick Perry to release the remaining funds of a $15 million grant the Department awarded the Danbury-based FuelCell Energy back in 2015.  FuelCell received the financial commitment to develop a technology that reduces emissions from coal- and gas-powered plants. To date, the Department of Energy has released only $3 million of their $15 million commitment.  The Congressional delegation emphasized that completion of FuelCell's technology would directly support American manufacturing jobs and help protect the environment, but that the project cannot be completed without the remainder of the grant.
