NEWS RELEASE
Enbridge and FuelCell Energy Power Up World’s First DFC-ERG Fuel Cell
TORONTO, Ontario, and DANBURY, Connecticut — October 23, 2008 — Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB; TSX:ENB),
its wholly-owned utility, Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc., and FuelCell Energy Inc. (NasdaqNM:FCEL),
today announced the opening of the world’s first Direct Fuel Cell — Energy Recovery Generation™
(DFC-ERG™) power plant. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at Enbridge Gas Distribution’s
Toronto headquarters. The plant, which produces 2.2 megawatts of environmentally preferred,
ultra-clean electricity, or enough power for approximately 1,700 residences, is also the first
multi-megawatt commercial fuel cell to operate in Canada.
Support for this $10 million breakthrough project was provided by both the federal and provincial
governments: the Canadian Government provided $2.3 million in funding from Natural Resources Canada
and the Ontario Government participated through a $500,000 grant from the Ministry of Research and
Innovation. In March of this year, the City of Toronto provided further support by enacting a
by-law allowing residents and businesses to export clean electricity to the grid.
“This is an exciting day for clean energy technology in Ontario and in Canada,” said Patrick D.
Daniel, President and CEO of Enbridge Inc. “We’ve taken two proven, low-carbon technologies and
integrated them in a unique way to increase the environmental benefits. The new technology will
offer the highest natural gas-to-electricity efficiency of any distributed generation technology,
and since it operates without the combustion of fuel the power has near-zero air pollutants.”
“This groundbreaking project is an ideal example of making the most out of the energy we waste,”
said the Honourable Gary Lunn, Minister of Natural Resources Canada. “The time is right to develop
technology solutions, like this, that respond to our environmental and energy-related challenges
and create a competitive advantage for Canada as innovators in clean energy technologies.”
“We’re excited to be working with Enbridge, a world-leading gas distribution company, to jointly
develop the DFC-ERG™ product, and both companies have been actively promoting the technology to
other gas utilities,” said R. Daniel Brdar, Chairman and CEO of FuelCell Energy. “While Toronto is
the first location for a DFC-ERG power plant, approximately 18 MW of DFC-ERG™ power plants have
been selected by the Connecticut Clean Energy fund as part of Connecticut’s renewable energy RFPs.
In addition, the extension of the fuel cell investment tax credit in the United States will ensure
that gas utilities have an opportunity to make economical investments with this clean energy
technology.”
A key priority of governments at all levels is to leverage Canadian expertise in the energy sector
to create new technologies that will form the foundation of a clean energy economy. Ontario has set
a clear objective for renewing its electricity generation capacity by adding more low-impact
generation into the supply mix. Enbridge’s commissioning of this first-of-its-kind DFC-ERG fuel
cell power plant is an important step toward a sustainable energy future for Ontario. The adoption
of these clean energy technologies is also paying dividends for Ontario’s manufacturers, which are
focused on clean energy technologies.
The plant will utilize Satcon Technology Corporation’s (NASDAQ CM: SATC), 1.2 MW fuel cell power
conditioning system to deliver clean and reliable energy to satisfy the requirements of the local
electrical utility. “The Enbridge project demonstrates the increasing demand for clean energy
technologies at the utility scale, and is a major achievement toward the commercialization of fuel
cells,” said Steve Rhoades, President and Chief Executive Officer of Satcon. “We are honored to be
a part of this significant step in the growth of the renewable energy industry.”
How the DFC-ERG™ works
Natural gas travels long distances in pipelines at high pressure. Before it can be safely
distributed to homes and businesses, the pressure must be reduced. Hundreds of these pressure
reducing stations exist across Ontario. Normally this is done by squeezing the gas through a valve.
Since this process causes the gas to cool, it is usually preheated using gas-fired boilers to
maintain reliable deliveries of gas to consumers. Instead of using a valve which wastes the
pressure energy, the DFC-ERG power plant directs the high-pressure gas through a turbo expander,
which harvests the waste energy for power generation much like a wind or water turbine. The
integration of the fuel cell more than doubles the amount of low-impact electricity that is
delivered to the electricity grid, and the non-combustion heat from the fuel cell eliminates the
need for the boiler and its emissions.
DFC-ERG™ hybrid fuel cell plants offer unparalled efficiency gains. This distributed generation
technology obtains its high efficiencies by operating 24 hours a day as a combined heat and power
plant, but it is unique in that it converts more than 60 percent of the input energy into
high-value electricity. This is almost double the fuel to electricity conversion efficiency of
many distributed generation technologies. Since the plant operates without combustion its air
pollutants, like smog and particulate emissions, are expected to be less than one percent of those
emitted from power plants of similar size. Since natural gas pressure-reducing stations are inside,
or near, urban centres the power is generated where it is needed most thereby reducing electric
grid system losses. The North American market represents 250 to 300 MW of opportunities for
DFC-ERG systems.
