Plug Power Debuts GenSys5P LPG Products

Plug Power Inc. (Latham, NY) introduced the GenSys™5P, the company's first liquid-propane-gas (LPG) fueled product. The GenSys™5P, a 5kW, grid-parallel fuel cell system, is being marketed to an audience that includes rural electric cooperatives, customers that have no utility-provided electricity supply, and federal and state government customers who require the remote fuel capability that LPG provides. The first two GenSys™5P systems were shipped yesterday.

The development of the GenSys™5P has been made possible, in part, through Plug Power's fleet experience of over 750,000 operating hours on its GenSys™5CS natural gas systems, and collaborative research and product development efforts with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Currently Plug Power and NYSERDA are jointly participating in a project targeted at the development of technologies that will be incorporated into next-generation LPG systems.
