Altergy’s Freedom Power Supplies Eco-Friendly Fuel Cell Lighting At The 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards

FOLSOM, California – January 17, 2011 – Celebrities at this year's Golden Globe Awards© ceremony in Beverly Hills walked the red carpet under environmentally clean lighting provided by Altergy and MultiQuip.

Altergy's "zero emissions" Freedom Power™ fuel-cell system supplied earth friendly power to Mutiquip's Earthsmart™ H2LT portable plasma light tower. Altergy fuel cells provide clean and quiet "off the grid" electrical power replacing traditional "dirty" diesel generators, normally used at such events, which are noisy, less reliable, and produce harmful air emissions.

Altergy also provided an additional stationary Freedom Power® fuel cell system which was used to deliver clean electrical power for numerous other Golden Globe Award’s electrical demands.

The Annual Golden Globe Awards® Ceremony is seen by millions in over 160 countries worldwide and is one of the top three most watched awards shows on television. In its 68th year, it is one of the few awards ceremonies that spans both television and motion picture achievements.

“These applications demonstrate the versatility and range of usages for our Freedom Power fuel-cell systems,” said Eric Metter, Altergy’s president and chief executive officer.  “We’ve established a strong base in telecommunications in recent years and the utilization of our clean power systems at the Golden Globe Awards shows our ability to provide new and exciting eco-friendly solutions to today’s numerous growing power demands.”

The Earthsmart™ system was used for the first time ever at the March 2010 Academy Awards® ceremony.  The eco-friendly system is now scheduled for use at the upcoming Screen Actors Guild® and GRAMMY awards, and will also again be in operation at the 83rd Academy Awards presentation, as well as for upcoming NASA Space Shuttle launches.

“We’re excited to have our Earthsmart system being used at such a high-profile event,” said Torsten Erbel, vice president product management, engineering and customer support for Multiquip.  “It’s a great fit for this type of application where there’s a premium on quiet operation, safety and high efficiency.”
