Scottish Power plans Felixstowe green hydrogen hub
Utility working with port operator on potential project to supply local and export demand from hub at UK’s busiest container port
Utility Scottish Power is exploring the potential of developing a 100MW green hydrogen production hub at the UK’s busiest container port at Felixstowe on England’s east coast. Current estimates put the cost of the project at around £150mn ($127mn), with a target startup date of 2026. Subsequent phases of development could raise capacity to several hundred megawatts, says Scottish Power, which is working on the project with port operator Hutchison Ports. It has applied to the UK government’s Net Zero Hydrogen Fund for support for a Feed study after a feasibility study showed high demand for green hydrogen at the port for HGV refuelling as well as supply for heavy freight trains and port opera
