Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) has launched the industry's first spot pricing program for liquid green hydrogen, enabling buyers to purchase on-demand without long-term commitments. The program allows customers like retailers, industrial manufacturers, and power plant operators to respond flexibly to energy demands. S&P Global Platts will publish weekly prices every Thursday based on Plug's supply and demand.
The company has already secured multiple spot agreements, including one with a major industrial gas company. The program operates across Plug's plants in Woodbine, Ga., Charleston, Tenn., and St. Gabriel, La., with a combined production capacity of approximately 45 tons per day. As North America's third-largest liquid hydrogen producer, Plug is currently the only commercial-scale producer of liquid green hydrogen.
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) has enhanced its liquidity by approximately $30 million through the transfer of Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on January 24, 2025. This marks Plug's first use of transferability rules under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and represents one of the first transfer deals for hydrogen storage and liquefaction assets.
The company secured the ITC through investments in liquefaction and storage technologies at its Woodbine, Georgia plant, which began production in early 2024. Under the IRA, facilities like Woodbine can claim both the Section 45V Production Tax Credit (PTC) for green hydrogen production and the ITC on storage and liquefaction assets. This follows Plug's June 2024 announcement of utilizing the PTC at the same facility.
The transaction represents a non-dilutive balance sheet opportunity and sets the stage for future ITC monetization as Plug continues to expand its green hydrogen ecosystem.
Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) has secured a $1.66 billion loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office to support the construction of up to six hydrogen production and liquefaction projects across the United States.

The Texas plant will utilize Plug's electrolyzer stacks manufactured in Rochester, N.Y., and liquefaction and storage systems from Houston. The facility is expected to create hundreds of high-quality jobs. Currently, Plug operates hydrogen plants in Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisiana with a combined liquid hydrogen production capacity of approximately 45 tons per day.

The facility aims to produce approximately 2,700 metric tons per day of green ammonia, serving AGA's customers in Asia and Europe across agriculture, energy storage, transport, and industrial applications. This project represents one of the largest green ammonia production facilities globally.
