Plug Power Secures Major Green Hydrogen Supply Deal Across UK Regions

Plug Power Inc. has clinched a substantial long-term equipment supply and service partnership valued at 55 MW, partnering with Carlton Power on an ambitious green hydrogen initiative spanning multiple locations in the United Kingdom. The multi-project portfolio receives support through the UK Government’s Hydrogen Business Model, positioning it as a strategically important venture in the nation’s clean energy transition.

Project Breakdown and Scale

The agreement encompasses three distinct hydrogen facilities strategically distributed across the UK. The flagship Barrow-in-Furness Hydrogen project in Cumbria will operate at 30 MW capacity, marking a significant deployment in the northwestern region. The Trafford Green Hydrogen installation in Greater Manchester follows with a 15 MW specification, while the Langage Green Hydrogen facility in Plymouth rounds out the portfolio at 10 MW capacity.

Strategic Implications

This arrangement underscores Plug Power’s expanding role in Europe’s hydrogen economy and reflects Carlton Power’s commitment to advancing decarbonization through government-backed initiatives. By securing this contract, Plug Power reinforces its position as a key infrastructure provider in the emerging green hydrogen sector, while the Carlton Banks framework ensures coordinated execution across all three installations.

The diversified geographic placement of these projects demonstrates a deliberate strategy to build hydrogen production capacity across different UK regions, supporting national climate objectives while creating localized clean energy generation capabilities.
