UTC to power New Haven high-rise

UTC Power in South Windsor is due to deliver Friday one of its fuel cells to power the 32-story luxury high-rise going up in downtown New Haven.

The 400-kilowatt fuel cell will supply electricity for the $180 million Pitkin Plaza tower and its 504 living units and retail-office space when it opens in August, officials said.

The project will be the first of its kind in the world to run on a fuel cell of that capacity, officials said.

Becker + Becker is the architect-developer of the tower that is certified LEED Platinum.
