(Nasdaq:FCEL) a global leader in the design, manufacture, operation and service of ultra-clean, efficient and reliable fuel cell power plants, today announced the launch of a new website at www.fuelcellenergy.com and an updated FuelCell Energy logo.

The enhancements enable prospective customers to quickly gain an understanding of the value proposition of highly efficient and ultra-clean Direct FuelCell® (DFC®) fuel cell power plants through the use of an improved layout, graphics and photos. Each of the megawatt-class markets are explained, including on-site power for universities, municipal, food and beverage, and industrial applications as well as electric grid support with multi-megawatt fuel cell parks for electric utilities and independent power producers. A video is available on the home page featuring a customer and several legislators discussing the economics and value of DFC power plants.
