December 26, 2005—FuelCell Energy, Inc., a leading manufacturer of efficient, ultra-clean power generation plants for commercial and industrial customers, has announced that its modular 250-kilowatt (kW) Direct FuelCell (DFC) power plant has met the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) stringent distributed generation emissions standards for 2007, qualifying the DFC 300MA power plant for state-sponsored economic incentives.
The DFC300MA joins FuelCell Energy’s other DFC products that previously attained this certification. By meeting this standard, the Company’s DFC300MA power plant is categorized as an ‘ultra-clean’ distributed generation technology, exempting it from air quality district permitting requirements. In addition, the certification qualifies the company’s products for preferential rate treatment by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) including the elimination of “exit fees” and “standby charges” for customer electric generation.
FuelCell Energy develops and markets ultra-clean power plants that generate electricity with up to twice the efficiency of conventional fossil fuel plants and with virtually no air pollution, the company says. For more information, visit the Web site.
