Bridgeport, Connecticut: 4-Megawatt Fuel Cell Plant Unveiled, Enough Power for More Than 3,000 Homes and Businesses
Energy company Dispatch Energy held a ribbon-cutting on November 12 in Bridgeport, Connecticut, for a 4-megawatt fuel cell power plant, marking the official start of operations. Built on a former brownfield site, the plant will deliver reliable, low-carbon baseload power to the local grid, enough for more than 3,000 homes and businesses.
Under a power purchase agreement with United Illuminating, the plant will supply continuous power to the utility's customers in the greater Bridgeport area. United Illuminating is a regional electricity distributor headquartered in New Haven and founded in 1899. The project is part of Connecticut's Shared Clean Energy Facility Program, which will add 65 megawatts of locally produced low-carbon renewable power to the ISO New England grid.
Bridgeport city officials and Connecticut state legislators joined executives from Dispatch Energy and United Illuminating at the ceremony. Dispatch Energy provides distributed power solutions for commercial, industrial, municipal and utility customers.
