8 FuelCell Energy Power Plant Locations Over 60 global units More than 230 million kWh produced at customer sites

9 DFC power plant costs are declining while the cost of grid power increases Cost Effectiveness

10 California Market Drivers AB 32 passed – strict limits greenhouse gas emissions CARB 07 sets tough new standards for NOx emissions –ALL FCE Products are CARB 07 certified on BOTH Natural Gas AND Biogas $80 million + annual incentive program for clean energy generation projects (Self-Gen Incentive Program) $2500/kW for power plants running on natural gas $4500/kW for power plants running on biofuel 40% of FCE’s total installed capacity All FCE products are Rule 21 Certified –Simplified interconnection Santa Barbara, California

11 FCE History in California FCE Evolution in California DG market Earliest plants operated by LADWP on natural gas Follow-on plants operated on Digester Gas at Palmdale and Santa Barbara Currently over 20 projects totaling 12+ MW operating in CA today 40% of existing projects operate on Bio Gas up to 12/07 93% of new projects being installed in ’08 are Bio Gas Lessons Learned Digesters occasionally take the day off – have natural gas as a backup Bio Gas treatment systems require continuous O&M – N.G. backup WWTP’s run diesel generator test monthly – install load banks CA policy makers favor renewable fuels – be ready to use them all
