Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced it has been selected for an equipment supply and long-term service agreement (LTSA) totaling 55 MW for three green hydrogen projects being developed by Carlton Power in the United Kingdom. The award, subject to final investment decision (FID), includes 30 MW for the Barrow-in-Furness Hydrogen project in Cumbria, 15 MW for the Trafford Green Hydrogen project in Greater Manchester, and 10 MW for the Langage Green Hydrogen Project in Plymouth, marking the largest combined electrolyzer supply contract in the UK to date.

Developed by Carlton Power through its joint venture with Schroders Greencoat, the Barrow-in-Furness hydrogen project will feature six 5 MW Plug Power GenEco Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers using renewable electricity to generate hydrogen. Under a secured offtake agreement with Kimberly-Clark, the 30 MW plant will supply green hydrogen to the company's nearby manufacturing facility, significantly reducing carbon emissions across its operations.

Plug Power will also supply 15 MW of GenEco PEM electrolyzers for Carlton Power's Trafford Green Hydrogen project, located within the Trafford Low Carbon Energy Park in Greater Manchester. Trafford Green is one of the UK's flagship green hydrogen initiatives and is designed to support industrial and transportation decarbonization across the Manchester region. The project will utilize renewable and low-carbon electricity to produce green hydrogen for a variety of local end users—including manufacturing, heavy transport operators, and municipal fleets—and is expected to begin operations in 2027. Trafford Green forms a key part of Greater Manchester's long-term net zero strategy.
