The power plant will be located on the campus of Central Connecticut State University in New Britain.
The University will buy the ultra-clean electricity and steam generated by the plant under a long term power purchase agreement.
FuelCell Energy will maintain the plant under a multi-year service agreement and the plant is expected to be operational by December 2011.
The plant will use natural gas for fuel to generate ultra-clean electricity through an electrochemical reaction.
The power plant will be configured to utilize the high quality heat created by the power generation process in a combined heat and power mode to generate steam for heating and cooling campus buildings.
This project represents the initial collaboration between FuelCell Energy and Greenwood Energy, the North American renewable energy division of global conglomerate the Libra Group.
