First announced in 2018, Energy Innovation Park, LLC (EIP) planned to build a fuel cell grid in a 465,000 square foot factory formerly occupied by Stanley Black & Decker on Myrtle Street, New Britain, with intentions for future expansion. The company's strategy involved a two-phase development approach. Initially, they would focus on constructing the fuel cell grid. Once the cells were operational, EIP planned to proceed with the second phase, which involved building a data center within the main factory building. This project aimed to repurpose the industrial site, combining innovative energy solutions with data center infrastructure.
