Plug Power Inc. (symbol: PLUG) is a leading innovator in the hydrogen fuel cell technology sector. The company is dedicated to creating cost-effective solutions that boost productivity, lower operating expenses, and minimize carbon footprints. Plug Power’s flagship solution, GenKey, offers a comprehensive package for its customers, which includes GenFuel hydrogen and fueling infrastructure, GenCare aftermarket services, and a specialized fuel cell system tailored for various markets.
Plug Power's product portfolio features two main brands: ReliOn and GenDrive. ReliOn is a modular and scalable fuel cell product engineered for critical stationary power applications. On the other hand, GenDrive serves as a lead-acid battery replacement used primarily in electric lift trucks within high-throughput material handling settings. With over 6,500 GenDrive units deployed and more than 100 million hours of runtime accumulated, Plug Power is enhancing efficiency in material handling sectors.
The company is on a mission to construct an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, encompassing production, storage, delivery, and energy generation. Plug Power is actively working on developing green hydrogen highways across North America and Europe, aiming to deliver green hydrogen solutions both directly to customers and through joint ventures. These initiatives span multiple markets, including material handling, e-mobility, power generation, and other industrial applications.
In recent news, Plug Power has taken significant strides by completing the final step to enable the commercial sale of its electrolyzer systems in Korea. Additionally, Plug Power has unveiled a state-of-the-art Gigafactory for producing electrolyzers and fuel cells. The company plans to develop multiple green hydrogen production plants, targeting commercial operation by the end of 2028.
Plug Power's extensive deployment of over 69,000 fuel cell systems and over 250 fueling stations makes it a global leader in the hydrogen fuel cell market. As the largest buyer of liquid hydrogen, Plug Power is at the forefront of the push towards a sustainable and decarbonized economy.
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 company's Graham, Texas plant, powered by an adjacent wind farm, will be the first facility to benefit from this financing.
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.
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) has secured a major agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply 3 gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzer capacity for AGA's green hydrogen-to-ammonia plant in Australia. The project will be powered by a 4.5 GW solar plant, ensuring zero-emission production.
Plug will first develop a Basic Engineering and Design Package (BEDP) to attract investors. Following an expected Final Investment Decision by Q2 2025, manufacturing and delivery of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzers will begin in Q1 2027.
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.
