FUELING INFRASTRUCTURE<br />
Hydrogen Power Park and fuel cell vehicle demonstration, Phoenix: The Arizona<br />
Public Service (APS) Hydrogen Power Park was the first commercial hydrogen motor<br />
vehicle refueling station in Arizona. Opened in 2002 in downtown Phoenix, more than<br />
5,500 gge (gasoline gallon equivalent) of hydrogen has been produced from city water<br />
and delivered into motor vehicles (APS is demonstrating a Mercedes Sprinter fuel cell<br />
van and a Ford F150 50/50 hydrogen/CNG-fueled internal combustion engine truck).<br />
Project partners include the City of Phoenix fire department, State of Arizona Energy<br />
Office, Valley of the Sun Clean Cities Coalition, DOE and utility companies. Power to<br />
the facility is delivered by 5-kW Plug Power and Proton Energy Systems 1 kW PEM fuel<br />
cells, internal combustion engine gensets and photovoltaic panels. Future plans include<br />
evaluating hydrogen production from wind, biomass, biogas, bromine cell, solar metal<br />
oxide reduction and traditional fuels.<br />

The Arkansas Public Service Commission approved net-metering and interconnection<br />
rules in 2002. Installations must meet all applicable electric codes, including the<br />
National Electric Code, the <strong>Institute</strong> of Electrical and Electronic Engineers, the National<br />
Electrical Safety Code and Underwriters Laboratories. Eligible technologies include fuel<br />
cells, microturbines, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass.<br />

The Arkansas Renewable Energy Development Act of 2001 makes fuel cells an eligible<br />
technology for net metering (other technologies include solar, wind, hydroelectric,<br />
geothermal and biomass systems and microturbines using renewable fuels). Residential<br />
