This installation marks the fourth project on which ClearEdge Power has partnered with Samsung Everland and the first PureCell system installation in the city of Busan. Samsung Everland previously deployed 12 PureCell Model 400 systems for a 4.8MW site at GS Power, seven Model 400 systems for a 3.08MW site at KOSEP and two Model 400 systems for the Lotte World Premium Towers.  "We are extremely proud to partner with Samsung Everland on this exciting project with the Busan International Finance Center," said David B. Wright, ClearEdge Power President & CEO. "Together, we continue to develop projects that meet Korea's progressive environmental standards and we're pleased to be an important part of the country's growing green energy infrastructure."

Generating electricity and heat, PureCell Model 400 systems are driving lower energy costs, increasing reliability and reducing emissions for customers around the globe.  The Model 400 system to be installed in the Busan International Finance Center will help to meet South Korea's clean energy goals as part of the country's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), which gives fuel cells the highest multiplier on renewable energy credits earned with each operating hour. "As a result of the RPS program and our strong partnership with Samsung Everland, we have successfully localized the maintenance and startup service capabilities for our products," said ClearEdge Power's International Sales Manager, Eric Strayer. "As ClearEdge Power's capacity grows in Korea, so does our capacity to create a local clean energy workforce."

"Samsung Everland continues to work closely with ClearEdge Power to market and sell PureCell fuel cell power plants in South Korea. We are experiencing growing demand for fuel cell power plants from electric utilities under the South Korean RPS program and forecasting increasing demand from the commercial building market as well," said Samsung Everland Plant Business Vice President.

PureCell systems are dependable and durable energy solutions, with total expected efficiencies more than double those of traditional power generation sources. With an ultra-clean design, optimized performance and streamlined installation, PureCell systems are the recommended choice for facilities with baseload heat and power requirements, like the Busan International Finance Center.
