Hartford Mayor Proposes Fuel Cell Project for Energy Savings and Sustainability
The Hartford Mayor, Arunan Arulampalam, is seeking City Council approval for a significant power deal involving a 2.6 megawatt fuel cell project. This project, set up by Bloom Energy, is expected to save the city millions in electricity costs over the next 15 years. The fuel cell will be built on city-owned land and will generate power at a fixed rate, with the city purchasing the natural gas needed to run it. The project aligns with the citys Climate Action Plan and City Plan, aiming to reduce electricity prices and promote sustainability. The fuel cell is expected to be operational within three years if the contract is approved by the City Council on Thursday evening. Checkout Solipillow.com
