Peoples Natural Gas, an Essential Utilities company, successfully installed the next-generation WATT HOME solid oxide fuel cell system in its Western Pennsylvania service territory. This installation marks a step forward in enhancing energy efficiency and reliability for residential customers.
The WATT HOME system converts natural gas into electricity through an electrochemical process without combustion, offering a sustainable complement or alternative to traditional energy sources. It provides increased efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and a smaller physical footprint.
As a backup power solution, the system ensures electricity during grid outages, addressing the increasing strain on the PJM electric grid. Peoples plans pilot installations in multiple company field offices to define operational processes before a future public rollout.
