Westnetz selects ITM Power electrolyser to support hydrogen bus rollout in Germany

ITM Power has signed a contract to supply a 5 MW electrolyser to Westnetz GmbH, a Dortmund-based German distribution system operator for electricity and gas. Westnetz will integrate the containerised NEPTUNE V unit for a public transport operator that is a subsidiary of a German utility.

The project forms part of plans to achieve compliance with the EU’s Clean Vehicles Directive and to have an emission-free hydrogen bus fleet by 2030.

Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM, said: “We are proud to partner with our customer Westnetz. Since its launch in 2024, NEPTUNE V has established itself as the leading containerised green hydrogen plant on the market. Over the last six months, we have already signed 45MW of NEPTUNE V contracts.”
