FuelCell Energy Inc. and its U.S. distributor, PPL EnergyPlus, said they have completed the installation of a Direct FuelCell (DFC) power plant at one of the largest U.S. Coast Guard air stations on the East Coast. The companies have commissioned and tested a 250 kW fuel cell system at the Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod in Bourne, Mass.

The system provides electricity to the air station, including its hangars and administrative buildings, and supplies hot water for use in the air station's barracks. Air Station Cape Cod is one of the largest U.S. Coast Guard air stations on the East Coast, flying both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters in support of its search and rescue and maritime law enforcement operations and other missions.
