Fuel-cell manufacturer ClearEdge Power may file for bankruptcy, according to South Windsor Town Manager Matthew B. Galligan.
Galligan said a ClearEdge official called him Thursday around 2:30 p.m. and told him that the company’s backers were looking to exit the fuel-cell business, possibly through a bankruptcy or sale.
“It was kind of out of the blue,” Galligan said. “We’ve been working with them to do some fuel cell business here in South Windsor.”
