Bligh Park 2756, New South Wales. Long-outage backup for homes and farms at the end of the line, and a step towards cutting the cord.
Bligh Park is classed as outer regional. Properties out here often sit at the end of long single lines through open country, where one fallen tree can take out a whole road and crews can be hours away.
Cheap power splits water into hydrogen. The hydrogen waits in a tank. When the lines go down in Bligh Park, a fuel cell turns it back into electricity and water, and the water goes round again.
How it works →Yes, that is what it is designed for. A Bligh Park home charges the unit from cheap off-peak power, or from wind or micro-hydro where there is no grid, and runs on stored hydrogen when the power goes. 15 kW continuous covers an average home.
Days rather than hours. A battery handles the first moments of an outage, then the fuel cell runs the house on stored hydrogen, which does not lose charge while it waits.
It is in early development. Pilot installs go to people on the pilot list first, and outer regional New South Wales properties like those around Bligh Park are exactly who the pilot is for.
Pilot installs go to people on this list first. Rural homes, farms and remote sites especially. No spam, no payment.
