Satcon Delivers World’s First Hybrid Fuel Cell Energy System

  
    
  
  
    
      Satcon Technology Corporation (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading provider of 
      utility scale distributed power solutions for the renewable energy 
      market, today announced that it has partnered with FuelCell Energy Inc. 
      and Enbridge Inc. in the production of a new, multi-megawatt hybrid 
      energy system for natural gas pipeline operations in Ontario Canada.
    
    
      The new product, named the Direct Fuel Cell-Energy Recovery Generation 
      (DFC-ERG™) system, aims at generating 
      ultra-clean electricity, while recovering energy normally lost during 
      natural gas pipeline operations. The system combines a 1.2 megawatt 
      Direct Fuel Cell power plant from FuelCell Energy with a 1 megawatt 
      unfired gas expansion turbine. Satcon’s 1.2 
      megawatt Fuel Cell Power Conditioning System is the enabling link 
      between the fuel cell and utility grid. Operating at natural gas 
      pipeline letdown stations, the system can generate 2.2 megawatts of 
      ultra-clean electricity, or enough power for approximately 1,700 
      residences. The system is also the first multi-megawatt commercial fuel 
      cell to operate in Ontario.
    
    
      “Our involvement in this project demonstrates 
      the demand for our industry-leading megawatt-class inverters for fuel 
      cell applications,” said Steve Rhoades, 
      President and Chief Executive Officer of Satcon. “As 
      the leader in large scale, utility grade renewable energy conditioning, 
      Satcon was chosen because of our experience in both industrial power 
      distribution and advanced utility scale solutions. We are excited about 
      the opportunity to partner with Enbridge and FuelCell Energy on this 
      project, which is a major step toward the commercialization of fuel 
      cells.”
    
    
      Enbridge has ordered FuelCell Energy's new up-rated 1.2 megawatt DFC 
      power plant to ensure product integration is complete in time to meet 
      the needs in emerging markets in Ontario, Canada, and Connecticut, as 
      well as other U.S. states.

      About FuelCell Energy, Inc.
    
    
      FuelCell Energy develops and markets ultra-clean power plants that 
      generate electricity with higher efficiency than distributed generation 
      plants of similar size and with virtually no air pollution. Fuel cells 
      produce base load electricity giving commercial and industrial customers 
      greater control over their power generation economics, reliability and 
      emissions. Emerging state, federal and international regulations to 
      reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions consider fuel cell power plants 
      in the same environmentally friendly category as wind and solar energy 
      sources -- with the added advantages of running 24 hours a day and the 
      capacity to be installed where wind turbines or solar panels often 
      cannot. Headquartered in Danbury, Conn., FuelCell Energy services over 
      50 power plant sites around the globe that have generated more than 124 
      million kilowatt hours, and conducts R&D on next-generation fuel cell 
      technologies to meet the world’s 
      ever-increasing demand for ultra-clean distributed energy. For more

      distribution alliances, please see www.fuelcellenergy.com.
