South Windsor’s Doosan Fuel Cell has landed a major contract to build a massive clean energy project in South Korea. By August 2016 Doosan is scheduled to manufacture and ship 70 fuel cells in a partnership with Samsung C&T Corp. and Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
When these fuel cells go live by February 2017, Doosan, which already has six projects (35 active fuel cells) in Korea, will be responsible for 105 fuel cells that generate 45 megawatts of electricity throughout the country – enough energy to power 71,500 Korean homes.
“We’ve developed the largest urban fuel cell site in Korea and the largest phosphoric acid fuel cell generation project in the world, reinforcing the fact that fuel cells are the premier clean energy alternative in large cities,” said Doosan President and CEO Jeff Chung.
“This project is a landmark agreement for Doosan in terms of size, power output and partnership,” says Chung, who has led Doosan Fuel Cell since the company opened its doors in July 2014. “For the past 15 months, we’ve been investing in our production facility to expand capacity, which allows us to manufacture power plants in a short timeframe.”
