Altergy Installs Clean Backup-Power System at Time Warner Cable Palm Springs Facility

FOLSOM, CA, November 22, 2010 – Altergy Systems has installed a 30 kilowatt Freedom Power fuel-cell system to provide clean back-up electrical power at Time Warner Cable’s Palm Springs distribution hub site facility.

Using Altergy’s hydrogen-powered fuel-cell technology, the zero-emission system will provide hours of backup run time power in the event of an electrical grid power failure.

Television, high-speed data, and phone signals from Time Warner Cable’s primary distribution center in Palm Desert are transmitted over fiber to the hub site where they are then distributed to residential and business customers throughout Palm Springs.

Time Warner Cable is also using Altergy’s time-saving fill-in-place fuel system, which enables hydrogen fuel to be replenished without the need to swap out fuel cylinders.  Altergy introduced this technology to the telecommunications industry more than two years ago and has since installed hundreds of such systems throughout the country.

“With the installation of this fuel-cell system, Tim Warner’s superior service reliability will now be even better,” said Jon Tennies, Time Warner Cable facility supervisor.  “In addition to providing our customers with highest quality services, this reserve power system will help reach the State of California’s goals for improving air quality, secure our energy future by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and cut our petroleum dependency.”

The hydrogen fuel-cell system eliminates the need for a diesel generator and liquid fuel tank that normally would be used for backup power during a power outage.  The system produces electricity from hydrogen in an electrochemical reaction, with no greenhouse gas emissions, little noise, and only heat and water as byproducts.

“Because our system generates no harmful air emissions and is very quiet, it provides an environmentally friendly and community friendly backup power system,” said Chris Radley, Altergy vice president, Product Line Management.

Time Warner Cable is the second-largest cable operator in the U.S., with technologically advanced, well-clustered systems located mainly in five geographic areas — New York State (including New York City), the Carolinas, Ohio, southern California (including Los Angeles) and Texas.  Time Warner Cable serves more than 14 million customers who subscribe to one or more of its video, high-speed data and voice services.  Time Warner Cable Business Class offers a suite of phone, Internet, Ethernet and cable television services to businesses of all sizes.
