Groton City's Mayor Marian Galbraith said: "We value Pfizer as a vibrant contributor to the local economy and further investments in their campus, such as this fuel cell power plant project, support their commitment to the region.
"The city and, in particular, Groton Utilities appreciate the opportunity to be a partner in the pursuit of green energy options which are good for business and good for our citizens."
Pfizer will purchase power and heat generated by the ultra-clean fuel cells under a twenty year power purchase agreement (PPA) from a direct subsidiary of FuelCell Energy.
Connecticut's Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) commissioner Catherine Smith said: "It is exciting when two innovative Connecticut companies such as Pfizer and FuelCell Energy work together to solve business challenges in a manner that benefits the citizens of the state.
