Update - U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut
​
On December 29, 2021 in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, FuelCell Energy, Inc. (the "Company") disclosed that the process of commissioning the 7.4 megawatt platform at the U.S. Navy Submarine Base in Groton, Connecticut was underway following a temporary suspension due to a needed repair. During the resumed commissioning process, the Company observed operating parameter data from one of the two fuel cell platforms installed at the project site that indicated a mechanical component was not performing according to engineered specifications. The Company recently determined that component should be removed from the project site to facilitate the necessary repair and upgrade. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company is in the process of performing the necessary repairs and upgrades to the mechanical component. Upon completion of the repair and upgrade work and reinstallation of the mechanical component at the project site, the Company will restart the process of commissioning the project.
​
The Company also previously disclosed that if commercial operations were delayed beyond February 15, 2022, an extension would be required from the Navy.

​
In addition, as previously disclosed, in August 2021, the Company closed on a tax equity financing transaction with
East West Bancorp, Inc. ("East West Bank")
for this project. East West Bank's tax equity commitment totals $15 million. In connection with the initial closing, the Company was able to draw down $3.0 million. The Company is eligible to draw the remaining amount of the commitment, approximately $12 million, once the Groton project achieves commercial operation.
