California regulators on Thursday gave PG&E Corp.’s (PCG) and Edison International’s (EIX) utilities permission to spend about $20 million each to develop fuel-cell power-generating facilities.
Pacific Gas & Electric Co. plans to install 3 megawatts of fuel cells at two California State University campuses in the San Francisco Bay area, and Southern California Edison plans to install 3 megawatts of fuel-cell capacity on CSU campuses in southern California.
PG&E’s fuel cells will use waste heat and water to provide heat for an Olympic-size swimming pool, among other uses, and also reuse excess water for landscape irrigation.
Edison’s fuel cells will use waste heat for generation.

Plansee High Performance Materials, Reutte, Austria, has announced plans to invest in an automated plant in Towanda, Pa., to make PM metallic plates used in fuel cells to meet growing demand for these products. The ultra-thin PM plates are made from a custom metal alloy designed by Plansee engineers to allow fuel-cell stacks to operate at high temperatures without cracking.
The company supplies Bloom Energy, Sunnyvale, Calif., with thin PM interconnect plates for stationary solid oxide fuel-cell systems. Bloom energy servers containing the PM interconnects are currently producing power for several Fortune 500 customers. www.plansee.com
