In 2008, Enbridge officially launched the world’s first Hybrid FuelCell power plant that is designed for gas utility pressure reduction stations.

The plant converts unused pipeline energy, a byproduct of distributing natural gas to customers, into ultra-clean electricity. Built on approximately 22 parking spots in the company’s parking lot, the FuelCell operates without burning any fuel to produce about 2.2 megawatts of environmentally preferred, near zero-emissions electricity, enough to serve about 1,700 Ontario homes.

Enbridge has exclusive North American distribution rights for the Hybrid FuelCell technology. We plan to replicate the plant throughout our distribution network in Ontario and market the Hybrid FuelCell to other natural gas pipeline companies in North America.
