Danbury-based company submits bids to DEEP for fuel cell installations

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has opened up a request for proposal process for renewable energy projects.  Danbury-based FuelCell Energy has submitted plans for seven generation units that would produce a combined 85.1 megawatts.  The generation facilities are proposed for Ansonia, Bristol, Derby, Hartford, New Milford, Willimantic and Torrington.  DEEP officials received a total of 27 bids, a majority of which are fuel cells.  Jennifer Arasimowicz of Fuel Cell Energy says previous submissions on similar RFPs were not selected, with the state giving preference to wind and solar power instead.  She says the RFP process has since been modified.  Arasimowicz says their 7 proposals would mean over $70 million in new state revenue and over 700 new direct and indirect jobs for Connecticut.
