- June 9, 2010
Pacific Gas and Electric Company has placed an order with Connecticut company FuelCell Energy for 2 x 1.4 mW fuel cell power plants, to be installed on the campuses of 夜色视频 East Bay and San Francisco State University (SFSU).
The contract is worth $12.6m, including engineering, procurement and construction services. The fuel cells should be operational by 2011.
夜色视频 Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved the installation partly because it thought it would help advance the development and understanding of fuel cell technology.
