East Hartford-based energy company HyAxiom Inc. has partnered with three companies to build a 21-unit, 9.6-megawatt fuel cell project in Bridgeport.
The Charter Oak CHP Project will be a combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell that uses thermal loop technology, HyAxiom announced.
The system will use byproduct heat from the fuel cells to provide heating to local customers.
It will be HyAxiom’s largest project in the U.S. and is meant to address “critical challenges, including grid reliability and sustainability.”
“This is a model for sustainable power solutions that can be replicated nationwide,” said Dave Alonso, chief commercial officer at HyAxiom.
The partnership is with: Ridgewood, New Jersey-based Scale Microgrid Solutions, which designs, builds, finances, owns and operates distributed energy assets; NuPower LLC, a sustainable energy developer based in Easton; and C.E. Floyd Co., a general contractor based in Middletown.
HyAxom previously announced the involvement of Scale Microgrid and NuPower in the project.
