Germany’s Uniper has selected New York-headquartered Plug Power as the electrolyser supplier for its H2Maasvlakte project in the port of Rotterdam, with the aim to commission the first 100MW phase by 2026. The project will expand to 500MW of capacity by 2030. H2Maasvlakte received Important Project of Common European Interest status as part of the €5.2bn ($5.48bn) Hy2use programme announced in September last year. The following month, Uniper contracted France’s Technip Energies to begin Feed work on the project, supported by subsidies from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. The Netherlands has set a target of 500MW of installed capacity by 2025, reaching 3–4GW by 2030
