To flourish in the marketplace, any new technology must enjoy a fair chance to compete, unencumbered by
restrictive regulations. In today's highly competitive energy market, the regulatory framework puts fuel
cell manufacturers at a disadvantage. To that end, for example, Plug Power is working with the government to
adopt fair pricing policies, explore restructuring stand-by rates, and amend exit fees.
Additionally, Plug Power is advocating for regulatory treatment of hydrogen as a fuel rather than a
merchant chemical or gas and encourages the adoption of reasonable fire and safety codes that will help
drive the hydrogen economy.
