Auction aimed at projects with smaller electrolysers
Netherlands targets small projects with €250m auction
Government to launch tender next month aimed at supporting green hydrogen projects of less than 50MW
The Dutch government will launch a €250m ($263.7m) auction round next month for green hydrogen projects with electrolysers that are smaller than 50MW, it announced on Monday. The aim is to encourage innovation in green hydrogen among smaller energy users, such as industrial offtakers, transport companies or homes. “With these projects companies can also help prevent grid congestion and use the hydrogen to store surplus renewable energy locally,” the government said. The tender will be open between 30 November and 14 December, with subsidy winners expected to be announced in early 2024. The auction will invite bids from electrolyser projects with a minimum capacity of 0.5MW that draw electric
