Home » March 11, 2003: Long Island To Install 45 Fuel Cells
WEST BABYLON, N.Y. — As part of its effort to diversify its energy supply and advance the implementation of distributed generation on Long Island, the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) announced, at a McDonald’s restaurant partially powered by a Plug Power Inc. (Latham, N.Y.) fuel cell, that it will purchase an additional 45 fuel cell systems for installation across Long Island this year, for the first time installing them in Long Island homes.
Twenty-five of the 5-kW fuel cell systems — called GenSys™5CS — will be installed at LIPA’s West Babylon Fuel Cell Demonstration Site, which currently contains fuel cell systems feeding directly into the Long Island electrical grid. The remaining 20 systems will generate on-site heat and power for single or multi-family residential sites.
