Plug Power has begun the installation phase of its 5-megawatt electrolyzer at H2 Hollandia, a project that is shaping up to be the largest decentralized green hydrogen center in the Netherlands. Located next to the Vloeivelden Hollandia solar park, the system will convert surplus solar energy into renewable hydrogen. renewable hydrogen for industrial and transportation use.
Thanks to its direct connection to the 115 MWp photovoltaic power plant, the system converts surplus solar energy into hydrogen using PEM technology technology without generating additional pressure on the national electricity infrastructure. This allows energy to be stored efficiently and used where it is needed, contributing to energy independence and emissions mitigation.
5 MW electrolyzer: local production and strategic vision
Developed by Novar and Avitec, H2 Hollandia exemplifies a new distributed production strategy. With an estimated production capacity of
The project is aligned with the Dutch government’s energy policy, which seeks to consolidate a competitive hydrogen ecosystem in Western Europe. H2 Hollandia represents a key step in the execution of this strategy, combining technological innovation and regional partnerships to accelerate the energy transition.
Plug Power’s expansion in Europe
The installation also marks the first commercial deployment of a Plug Power electrolyzer. electrolyzer in the country in the country, strengthening its presence after previous operations in Hengelo. The company thus consolidates its vision of a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that spans from production to distribution.
With this action, Plug Power reinforces its global leadership in hydrogen hydrogen solutionsdemonstrating the commercial viability of integrating renewable sources directly with electrolysis systems.
