HyAxiom announced it is partnering with Scale Microgrid Solutions, NuPower, LLC., and C.E. Floyd to manufacture, deploy and operate a 21-unit 9.6-megawatt combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell project in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

"The Charter Oak CHP Project is a groundbreaking step toward a cleaner, more resilient energy future," said Dave Alonso, Chief Commercial Officer at HyAxiom. "By leveraging fuel cell and CHP technology, we can deliver low-emission power while enhancing grid reliability and local energy efficiency. This is a model for sustainable power solutions that can be replicated nationwide."

HyAxiom's largest U.S. effort to date, the Charter Oak CHP Project represents a significant step forward in upscaling fuel cell applications to meet growing energy demands. While HyAxiom and Doosan Fuel Cell Co., Ltd., have delivered similar, even larger multi-level fuel systems in South Korea, this marks the first multi-level deployment in the U.S. and addresses critical challenges, including grid reliability and sustainability.

"In addition to advancing the industry's push for low-emission power solutions, the Charter Oak CHP Project will deliver multiple benefits to the local community and Connecticut more broadly," said HyAxiom Chief Executive Officer Doo Soon Lee. "In particular, the thermal loop technology can increase the CHP efficiency by utilizing byproduct heat from the fuel cells to support the heating demand of local customers."
