Are there other systems being developed which would replace this method of fuel cell technology?

Thanks for the feedback. . My assumption from the US Banker article is that each cell produces 225 kilowatts, but it's not perfectly clear. I've updated the post to try to address this. Hi Jeff.

Thanks for the feedback. . My assumption from the US Banker article is that each cell produces 225 kilowatts, but it’s not perfectly clear. I’ve updated the post to try to address this.

As watts are already a unit of power (work over time,) saying that the system's capacity is "up to 225 kilowatts per hour (Kwh) for a total of 900 Kwh of power" is misleading since watt-hours are used for an entirely different metric (namely, billing.) Do these fuel cells provide 225 Kilowatts each for a total of 900 kW of system capacity?
