Bloom Energy is deploying more than 40 megawatts of fuel cell production in the Northeast through a series of agreements under a Community Distributed Generation (CDG) program.The initial projects are in the New York City metro area.
Bloom operates a production plant at the University of Delaware Star Campus in Newark.
The current program gives incentives to developers to install clean power generation within the grid distribution network to alleviate stress on the electric grid, decrease harmful greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants, reduce costs, and enhance energy reliability, a release stated.
The New York area is prone to grid and outage issues, due in part to a high population per square mile and aging infrastructure.
