We continue to strengthen and optimize our global manufacturing operations, reflecting increased interest in our solutions, high levels of market activity and anticipated future order flow. Recently, we began the first phase of a planned expansion of our North American manufacturing facility which will lead to both operating savings and capacity for continued growth of the business.

Intellectual property and advanced leading technologies developed by FuelCell Energy are included in over 80% of the FuelCell applications in the world. Recent announcements on carbon capture, solid oxide, power generation and storage reinforce our leadership in the industry.

We are leveraging both public and private capital to commercialize these opportunities. We are currently in discussions with select coal plant operators to site a multi megawatt power plant adjacent to an existing coal fired power plant for both carbon capture and power generation. We are progressing our solid oxide technology for power generation and storage applications are in discussions with potential site hosts.
