FuelCell sells power plants to Korea, Calif. prison

Danbury’s FuelCell Energy said it has inked deals to sell six fuel cell modules to a South Korean company and a fuel cell power plant to a jail in Dublin, Calif.

Financial terms of each deal were not disclosed.

The six modules purchased by FuelCell’s partner POSCO Energy total 8.4 megawatts, and are in addition to monthly shipments under an existing 122-megawatt order.

South Korea has been one of FuelCell’s largest markets.

Santa Rita Jail has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement with the company, which will install a 1.4-megawatt plant there in the second half of next year. It replaces a smaller fuel cell plant installed at Santa Rita in 2006.

The new plant will provide approximately 60 percent of the jail’s baseload power demand and 70 percent of its energy use.
