The H2 Hollandia initiative, developed by Dutch companies Novar and Avitec, will link a 115 MWp solar park at Vloeivelden Hollandia directly to Plug’s electrolyzer system. The project aims to demonstrate how localized renewable energy can be converted into green hydrogen without adding stress to the national grid.
By connecting the electrolyzer directly to the adjacent solar farm, the system can use surplus solar energy that would otherwise be curtailed. The resulting hydrogen will be stored and distributed for use in transport and industry. Scheduled to begin operation in 2026, H2 Hollandia is expected to produce around 300,000 kilograms of green hydrogen annually.
“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.”
A representative of H2 Hollandia added: “By directly integrating Plug’s system with our solar park, we can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen without adding stress to the grid. This is critical to realizing the Netherlands’ hydrogen hub ambitions.”
The project aligns with the Dutch government’s strategy to position the Netherlands as a leading hydrogen hub in Northwest Europe. For Plug Power, H2 Hollandia marks its first commercial electrolyzer deployment in the Netherlands, following its demonstration operations at the Green Box facility in Hengelo.
