Plug to provide electrolysers for 100-MW Dutch project of Uniper

US hydrogen specialist Plug Power Inc (NASDAQ:PLUG) will design the electrolyser technology for a 100-MW green hydrogen project of Uniper SE (ETR:UN01) at the German energy company’s Maasvlakte site at the Port of Rotterdam, the parties said on Tuesday.

Plug will provide 10 prefabricated PEM (proton exchange membrane) electrolyser systems for the project called H2Maasvlakte, which is planned to be commissioned by 2026 with an initial capacity of 100 MWn and expanded to 500 MW by 2030 at the latest.

Delivery of Plug’s stack electrolyser technology will take place upon a positive final investment decision by Uniper. At the current stage, Plug is taking part in the H2Maasvlakte Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study that Uniper is conducting with Technip Energies and support from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate’s Topsector Energie (TSE) subsidies.

The project at the Rotterdam Harbor area, which is the largest carbon-emitting industrial cluster in the Netherlands, aligns with Uniper's decarbonisation targets. The company’s Energy Hub Maasvlakte includes the 1,070-MW MPP3 plant powered by coal, biomass and residual flows from the surrounding industry.
