FuelCell Energy is applauding Governor Malloy and the State General Assembly for crafting and passing a law Promoting the use of Fuel Cells for Electric Distribution System Benefits and Reliability. 

The Act values cost of power, reliability and resiliency, along with the multiple economic development benefits that are unique to fuel cell projects.

The Act has two parts, including enabling Connecticut electric utilities to purchase up to 30 megawatts of fuel cells. Separately, the Act includes a provision for the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to issue a request for proposals for the procurement of clean energy with a focus on enhancing the reliability and resiliency of energy supply and in a manner that promotes in-state economic development.
