FuelCell Energy Inc, a global leader in fuel cell technology focused on utilizing its proprietary, state-of-the-art fuel cell platforms to enable a world empowered by clean energy, announced that in response to the escalating COVID-19 outbreak, the company has temporarily suspended operations at its Torrington, CT, US manufacturing facility. The manufacturing facility is anticipated to remain closed through 20 Apr 2020 and all other FuelCell Energy team members except those performing business critical work that cannot be done off-site will be working remotely. Construction and maintenance of the company's projects in the field is currently ongoing. FuelCell Energy will utilize finished goods on hand for near-term, in-flight projects. The company will continue to comply with state, federal and international regulations that dictate any additional actions the company may be called upon to take in response to COVID-19. The company voluntarily took these actions to secure the safety of the company's employees, its corporate community as a whole, the communities in which its team members live, and to adhere to CDC recommendations of social distancing and limited public exposure in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. All team members unable to work from home will continue to receive full pay and benefits for their scheduled shifts during this time. These decisions will be re-evaluated as new information becomes available regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.
