FuelCell Energy Solutions and E.ON Connecting Energies are to offer decentralized combined heat and power (CHP) solutions with megawatt (mW) and multi-megawatt Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) power plants to its existing and prospective customer base in Germany.
The agreement commences with the sale of a 1.4mW plant in Europe at the German headquarters and production facility of FRIATEC AG in Mannheim.
FRIATEC will host the plant, and benefit from ultra-clean, efficient and reliable power and high quality heat along with a reduction of power costs and enhanced energy security. E.ON will own the power plant and FuelCell Energy Solutions will install, operate and maintain the plant under a long-term service agreement.
Robert Hienz, CEO of E.ON Connecting Energies, commented, “With this partnership, we are delighted to install the first commercial mW-class fuel cell in Europe in an industrial environment. This case shows how high-efficiency technologies can grow, mature and serve real customer needs, such as reducing CO2 emissions by around 25%, and significantly cut energy cost as a production factor.”
