Plug Power Begins 5 MW Electrolyzer Installation for H2 Hollandia, Set to Become the Largest Green Hydrogen Initiative in the Netherlands
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) has begun installation of a 5 MW commercial PEM electrolyzer for the H2 Hollandia project in the Netherlands, with construction started in September and operations scheduled for 2026.
The system is directly tied to a 115-MWp Vloeivelden Hollandia solar park and is designed to convert surplus solar generation into green hydrogen without additional grid load. Once operational, H2 Hollandia is expected to produce roughly 300,000 kilograms of green hydrogen annually for transport and industrial use, marking Plug’s first commercial electrolyzer deployment in the Netherlands and a step from demonstration to full commercial operations in Europe.
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) ha iniziato l'installazione di un elettrolizzatore PEM commerciale da 5 MW per il progetto H2 Hollandia nei Paesi Bassi, con l'inizio dei lavori avviato a settembre e l'operatività prevista per 2026.
Il sistema è direttamente collegato a un parco solare Vloeivelden Hollandia da 115 MWp ed è progettato per convertire l'energia solare in eccesso in idrogeno verde senza caricare ulteriormente la rete. Una volta operativo, l'H2 Hollandia dovrebbe produrre circa 300.000 chilogrammi di idrogeno verde all'anno per uso nei trasporti e nell'industria, segnando la prima implementazione commerciale di un elettrolizzatore di Plug nei Paesi Bassi e un passo dal dimostrativo alle operazioni commerciali complete in Europa.

Das System ist direkt mit einem 115-MWp Vloeivelden Hollandia Solarpark verbunden und darauf ausgelegt, überschüssige Solarerzeugung in grünen Wasserstoff umzuwandeln, ohne das Netz zusätzlich zu belasten. Nach Inbetriebnahme soll H2 Hollandia voraussichtlich rund 300.000 Kilogramm grünen Wasserstoff pro Jahr für Transport und industrielle Nutzung produzieren, was Plug's ersten kommerziellen Elektrolyseur-Einsatz in den Niederlanden markiert und einen Schritt vom Demonstrations- zum vollständigen kommerziellen Betrieb in Europa darstellt.
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) بدأت في تركيب مُحلِّل PEM تجاري بسعة 5 ميغاواط لمشروع H2 Hollandia في هولندا، حيث بدأت الأعمال في سبتمبر ومن المقرر أن تشغّل في عام 2026.
النظام مرتبط مباشرة بحديقة طاقة شمسية 115-MWp Vloeivelden Hollandia، وهو مصمم لتحويل الزيادة في توليد الطاقة الشمسية إلى الهيدروجين الأخضر دون تحميل إضافي للشبكة. عند التشغيل، من المتوقع أن ينتج H2 Hollandia نحو 300,000 كيلوغرام من الهيدروجين الأخضر سنوياً للاستخدام في النقل والصناعة، وهي علامة على أول نشر تجاري لمحلِّل Plug في هولندا وخطوة من التجربة إلى تشغيل تجاري كامل في أوروبا.

Insights
Plug Power began installing a 5 MW electrolyzer at H2 Hollandia, marking first commercial Dutch deployment and a path to local green-hydrogen hubs.
Plug Power connects a 5 MW electrolyzer directly to the adjacent 115-MWp Vloeivelden Hollandia solar park to convert curtailed solar output into dispatchable hydrogen. The system is designed to operate off-site generation without added grid demand, producing about 300,000 kilograms of green hydrogen annually for transport and industry once operational in
The plan depends on several concrete items: timely completion of installation (groundwork began in early September), reliable direct solar-electrolyzer integration, and offtake or distribution arrangements to absorb ~300 tonnes per year. Key risks include construction delays, lower-than-expected solar availability reducing utilization, and any permitting or interconnection issues tied to regional policy implementation.
Watch for three near-term milestones: mechanical completion and commissioning in
Flagship system marks Plug’s first commercial electrolyzer deployment in the Netherlands and serves as a path for future Dutch hydrogen hub developments
SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the hydrogen economy, today announced it has started installation of its 5 MW electrolyzer for the H2 Hollandia project, the first decentralized green hydrogen hub initiative currently under construction in the Netherlands. Developed by Novar and Avitec, the project links the 115-MWp Vloeivelden Hollandia solar park directly to a Plug electrolyzer system, establishing a new model and serving as a path for localized, small and midscale renewable hydrogen production.
The electrolyzer at H2 Hollandia produces green hydrogen without placing any additional burden on the electricity grid. Because the system is directly connected to the adjacent solar farm, it can convert surplus solar generation, energy that would otherwise be curtailed, into hydrogen that can be stored and distributed for use in transport and industry
The project broke ground in early September and is scheduled to be operational in 2026. Upon completion, H2 Hollandia will be the first operational electrolyzer hydrogen hub in the Netherlands producing entirely green hydrogen and delivering roughly 300,000 kilograms annually for sustainable mobility and industrial use across the region.
“H2 Hollandia is a powerful example of how renewable energy and hydrogen production can be seamlessly integrated at scale,” said Jose Luis Crespo, President and Chief Revenue Officer of Plug. “The project demonstrates how Plug’s electrolyzer technology can help relieve grid congestion, strengthen energy resilience, and accelerate industrial decarbonization. This project is an important step in our broader European expansion, as we continue deploying commercial-scale systems that make clean hydrogen production both practical and scalable.”
“Plug’s electrolyzer technology is a key enabler of H2 Hollandia’s vision,” said H2 Hollandia representative. “By directly integrating Plug’s system with our solar park, we’re able to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen without adding stress to the grid. This is critical to realizing the Netherlands’ hydrogen hub ambitions. This collaboration shows what’s possible when advanced technology and strong regional partnerships come together to accelerate our clean energy transition.”
H2 Hollandia reflects the Dutch government’s broader hydrogen strategy, where public-policy support and regional cooperation join to advance the Netherlands as a major hydrogen hub in Northwest Europe. Clean hydrogen is essential to the energy transition, enabling new jobs, improved air quality, and reduction of carbon emissions across industry, mobility, and infrastructure. Through this approach, the region is building one of the Netherlands’ most advanced clean-energy ecosystems, positioning local industry, transport, and utilities to meet the Dutch government’s targets for hydrogen deployment, infrastructure readiness, and achieving long-term climate neutrality.
For Plug Power, the project marks a significant expansion of its presence in the Netherlands and follows the company’s ongoing operations at the Green Box facility in Hengelo, where Plug operates a demonstration site showcasing its PEM electrolyzer and integrated hydrogen systems. With H2 Hollandia now entering the installation phase, Plug transitions from demonstration to full commercial deployment in one of Europe’s most dynamic hydrogen markets. Plug Power continues to build a fully integrated hydrogen ecosystem—from production and storage to distribution and power generation—to help customers and partners achieve their business and sustainability objectives across industrial, transportation and energy sectors in North America and Europe.
