Acme Telepower Confirms Order for 310 Fuel Cells

IdaTech and Ballard Power Systems have had an order for 310 fuel cell backup power units confirmed by Acme Telepower of India following successful customer specification testing.

Under a Supply Agreement between IdaTech, ACME and Ballard Power Systems, signed in October 2008, IdaTech will develop and supply fuel cell systems for delivery to ACME in 2009 and 2010, including 310 direct hydrogen fueled systems for delivery this year. The direct hydrogen fueled systems use Ballard's FCgen-1020 ACS fuel cell stack, while the remaining systems will utilise natural gas and will incorporate Ballard's new FCgen-1300 fuel cell stack.

ACME selected IdaTech to develop and produce these systems based on IdaTech's proven technology and its proprietary fuel reforming, with its ability to produce hydrogen onsite and on demand from a wide range of commonly available convenient liquid fuels, and its system integration experience. IdaTech has already deployed over 150 fuel cell systems worldwide to date to a variety of customers.

The direct hydrogen system, the ElectraGen H2, is to be used by ACME to develop the Indian telecommunications market ahead of the deployment of the natural gas fueled hydrogen fuel cell systems, due to commence in 2010.
10 ElectraGen H2 systems were shipped in June 2009 with the remaining 300 to be delivered during the remainder of 2009.

The ElectraGen H2 systems are being assembled in IdaTech's existing low cost Mexican production facility.
The development of the natural gas fueled system continues, ahead of its expected deployment in 2010.

Commenting on the product acceptance and order for 310 systems, Hal Koyama, CEO said:
"The acceptance of IdaTech's ElectraGen H2 by ACME for telecommunication deployment in India is an exciting milestone for IdaTech. Acme’s acceptance process included the most rigorous testing any IdaTech product has faced to date. Passing this and securing the purchase order for the first 310 ElectraGen H2 validates the robustness of the product and Acme’s commitment to the program".
