Scale Microgrids, a distributed energy company, has acquired a 9.6MW combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell project in Bridgeport, Connecticut, from NuPower. The project, involving a thermal loop, will be financed by Investec, MUFG, and Foss & Co, with HyAxiom fabricating the fuel cells converting natural gas into hydrogen for electricity and heat. The project aims to enhance energy reliability, sustainability, and economic outcomes in Bridgeport while creating around 100 jobs during construction. This endeavor reflects a significant step in advancing clean energy solutions in the US. The project will also benefit local institutions like the University of Bridgeport and Bassick High School by reducing their operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. The collaboration underscores the growth of the clean energy economy in Connecticut and the commitment to local job creation. Overall, the initiative showcases the innovation and potential of microgrid systems in fostering a more sustainable and reliable energy future.
