Plug Power
Plug Power has developed a hydrogen fuel cell system that serves as a zero-emission backup power source for data centers. This innovative system, housed in 40-foot-long shipping containers, recently demonstrated its capability by delivering 3 megawatts of power—enough to support critical data center operations during power outages without relying on traditional diesel generators. Plug Power's GenSure fuel cells support mission-critical applications and emergency power needs but also contributes to reducing the environmental impact of data centers. With the prototype testing complete and concept proven, Plug is focused on rolling out an optimized commercial version of such high-power stationary fuel cell systems.
