The Northeast Energy and Commerce Association and the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology hosted a Regional Meeting for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Activities on July 22, 2010 in Westborough, MA. This Regional Meeting brought together key stakeholders from the Northeast states to discuss project analysis, incentives, funding mechanisms, and regional fuel cell initiatives.

The state/federal panel discussed their efforts, activities being undertaken to reduce barriers, short and long term plans, and where/how support could come from state, federal, and private resources .
