FuelCell Energy Inc., a Danbury-based manufacturer of fuel cells, will provide fuel cell power plants to Stamford Hospital and Waterbury Hospital.
The Waterbury Hospital project will use one plant to generate 2.4 megawatts of electricity for the grid while it supplies Waterbury Hospital with heat. The Stamford Hospital project will use two plants to generate 4.8 megawatts of ultra-clean electricity for the grid—enough for about 4,800 homes—and also generate low-cost heat for the hospital.
“Utilities need cleaner sources of electricity and hospitals must have a reliable, 24/7 source of energy—exactly what our fuel cell power plants provide,” said R. Daniel Brdar, chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy.
