abstract:UTC Power was a fuel cell company based in South Windsor, Connecticut. It was part of United Technologies Corporation; it was purchased by ClearEdge Power in February 2013.
Connecticut boasts the largest concentration of fuel-cell companies in the United States, including leading fuel-cell manufacturers UTCPower, Proton OnSite and Fuel Cell Energy.
Companies like long-term player Ballard Power Systems, Linde, UTCPower and Air Liquide (which has built 50 big hydrogen generators) have made this a big business.
Mike Brown, an executive with UTCPower, a leading fuel-cell maker, said the fuel cells need to last at least four or five years for the technology to be competitive.
