Gee... isn't Bridgeport just around the corner from FCEL ? And they didn't choose the local technology????

Why not? Too expensive? Not economic? Wrong technology for the grid in CT? Nepool?

FCEL gets a piece of this pie. Heat value credits to offset the cost of generation for the Bridgeport Fuel Cell Park. The maps tell the story.

Fuel Cell Energy helped fund the feasibility study for NuPower.

I don't see how it cuts into the Connecticut budget for fuel cells, and the Bridgeport FCEL power plant is a potential thermal source that could receive heat value credits.
