The pilot project was first announced inNovember 2008. At the National Grid hadn’t selected a customer for the trial. Unionh college wants the system running before studentes return for thefall semester. It will require National Grid to install a pipe that will delive natural gas to the fuel The trial also will be used toeducatde youngsters, who will be able to see the technology and use the data to analyzew the system’s performance, said Stanley vice president of Global Technology for National Grid. Union collegse students will assist in the Plug has been developing the residentialGenSys fuel-cell systej for a decade.
It is expected to reduce home energy costsby 20-40 percent, and reduce home carbon emissions by 35 percent. The partnershi p with National Grid will expeditethe product’s Marsh said.
