According to this article by Steven. The 1-megawatt fuel cell combined with heat and power plant sits behind Anchorage U.S. postal service. Chugach Electric operates, owns, and provides clean reliable power to the USPS service here in Anchorage Alaska. In addition, heat the is recovered from the fuel cells will be used to put heat in the building. The USPS would save 800,000 dollars in electricty and natural gas cost over the 5 1/2 year contract term. This is a good because not only would it help save energy but it will always provide reliable service and make sure the postal service always have light and heat in the building.
