Keys to High Reliability • Ship / aircraft design strategy • Generators in parallel and modular (6 independent power plants) • Utilizes UPS-electronics design strategies • Chemical reaction without moving parts, low pressure, air cooled • Relies on gas grid rather than electric grid Page 7 | Confidential
Targeted – Customer or Grid Side of Meter All electric fuel cells do not require a thermal load and can be targeted to improve grid reliability or isolate customers from grid disruptions. Page 8

Improve Incentives for Clean and Reliable DG The digital economy is making electric system reliability more important every day. Incentive programs should be crafted to encourage both clean energy and reliable energy. All-electric fuel cells can be precisely targeted to improve grid reliability and can offer uninterruptible power or “grid islanding” capabilities. All-electric fuel cells are competing and winning in other markets. MA has no incentive program in which all all-electric fuel cells are allowed to compete. All-electric fuel cells should be able to compete for long term contract and REC programs. Standby rate exemptions and net metering should be available for all clean and reliable DG. The MA “grid modernization” and CT “micro - grid” initiatives are opportunities to add reliability values to incentive programs.
