Danbury-based Fuel Cell Energy has entered into a new contract with Pepperidge Farm to install a 1-point-4 megawatt Direct FuelCell power plant at its bakery in Bloomfield, Connecticut.  Pepperidge Farm will pay for power as it is produced under a power purchase agreement.

This new power plant will supplement the existing Direct Fuel Cell power plant that was installed at the bakery in 2008.  Fuel Cell says that plant has been generating savings for Pepperidge Farm and carbon reductions since that time.  

FuelCell officials say ultra-clean and affordable power plants add value for food and beverage processors such as Pepperidge Farm.
