Statkraft has announced expansion targets for the German market, aiming to install 300 MW to 500 MW of wind and solar projects annually from 2027. By 2030, the company plans to have at least 250 MW of electrolysis capacity operational in Germany. A 10 MW pilot project in Emden is planned for 2025, with the goal of operating electrolyzers producing up to 200 MW of green hydrogen connected to the hydrogen pipeline network by 2030.
Plug Power has announced plans to develop three green hydrogen production plants in Finland, with a total electrolyzer capacity of 2.2 GW, by the end of the decade. The company is focusing on liquefaction and PEM electrolysis technologies and aims to make a final investment decision by 2025-26. The produced green hydrogen will support ammonia and green direct reduced iron (DRI) production in Kokkola, Kristinestad, and Porvoo. Plug Power said it is collaborating with GravitHy and Hy2Gen and is in discussions with financial investors and debt providers to secure funding, with a capital structure likely to include non-recourse debt.
