5 January 2007 -- Elemental Power Group, LLC (EPG), a New York-based renewable energy development company, announced that it has proposed two projects for approval to the state of Connecticut through its Project 100 renewable energy RfP. EPG said the two projects, one in Bridgeport, Conn. and one in Danbury, Conn., if approved by the state, will be the largest fuel cell generation projects in the world, each totaling approximately 30 MW.
The state of Connecticut established the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) to promote faster and wider installation of renewable energy sources in the state. The CCEF then established "Project 100" to provide incentives for the installation of 100 MW of renewable energy generation by 2008. EPG has proposed its projects under round two of Project 100. Awards are scheduled to be announced near the end of March 2007.
EPG said that if the company receives the award, the fuel cell facilities could by producing power by late 2008 and be fully operational by the summer of 2009.
The Bridgeport facility is designed to repurpose and refurbish an old industrial structure in the heart of the city. The Danbury facility will be constructed on an abandoned lot in that city's aged industrial district approximately one mile from the headquarters of the technology provider, FuelCell Energy, Inc.
