RWE's Pembroke Green Hydrogen Project Receives Planning Approval in South Wales
Key Ideas
  • RWE's Pembroke Green Hydrogen project in South Wales has received planning approval for its 100MW green hydrogen project.
  • The project aims to supply nearby industries with clean energy through a direct pipeline, positioning Wales at the forefront of the green hydrogen revolution.
  • RWE plans to secure government funding before making a final investment decision to achieve the UK Government's target of 10GW of green hydrogen capacity by 2030.
  • The company anticipates reaching full capacity of the project by 2027, with the first 100MW expected to be commissioned in 2025.
RWE has been granted planning approval for its 100MW green hydrogen project in South Wales, specifically in Pembroke, UK. The Pembroke Green Hydrogen project is set to develop 100MW of electrolyser capacity on RWE land near its Pembroke Power Station. The project aims to provide nearby industries with clean energy through a direct 1.5km pipeline. This approval marks a significant milestone for RWE, positioning Wales as a leader in the green hydrogen movement and driving innovation in renewable energy. Sopna Sury, RWE's Chief Operating Officer for Hydrogen, highlighted the importance of green hydrogen in decarbonizing industries that are currently reliant on fossil fuels and cannot be electrified. The company now looks to secure government funding before making a final investment decision to contribute to the UK Government's goal of achieving 10GW of green hydrogen capacity by 2030. Additionally, RWE recently made a similar investment decision for its 300MW GET H2 Nukleus project in Germany. The Pembroke Green Hydrogen project is expected to have the first 100MW commissioned by 2025, with full capacity anticipated by 2027. This initiative reflects the growing interest and investment in hydrogen as a clean energy source, aligning with global efforts to transition towards more sustainable practices in the energy sector.
