Bloom Energy’s fuel flexible, solid oxide fuel cell technology
produces electricity from natural gas, biogas, or hydrogen through
an electrochemical process, without combustion, at one of the
highest efficiencies of any power solution available in the world
today.
This project aligns with the State of Connecticut’s efforts to
increase clean and renewable energy sources. The Bloom Energy
installation in Colchester was selected as part of Connecticut
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection’s (DEEP) Clean
Energy Request for Proposals. In addition to fuel cell adoption,
other selected projects included offshore wind and anaerobic
digestion.
Colchester, with its beautiful natural resources and plentiful
outdoor activities, is a fitting home for a clean energy project,
especially as the town has been named a “Community Wildlife
Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation. With the introduction
of more clean and renewable energy technologies to the community,
Colchester will have the ability to reduce dependence on heating
oil, and thereby reduce its carbon footprint.
“We are environmental stewards of this land and of our planet,”
said Mary Bylone, first selectman of the Town of Colchester.
“Implementing clean energy solutions, such as Bloom Energy Servers,
aligns with our dedication to our land, wildlife, and the future
generations of our community.”
“We are focused on helping communities reduce emissions, build
energy resilience, and meet their sustainability goals, through our
distributed, always-on, non-combustion process of generating clean
electricity,” said Kris Kim, vice president of global commercial
operations, Bloom Energy. "We are proud to support the town of
Colchester and the state of Connecticut in the pursuit of a clean
energy future that will drive positive environmental impact and
support the health of local citizens.”
The fuel cell installation is located at a local substation for
targeted local power generation capacity. This deployment in
Colchester has been made possible through a long-term purchase
agreement with energy providers Eversource and United
Illuminating.
