Imefy Awarded Contract for Transformer in Spain's Largest Renewable Hydrogen Plant
Key Ideas
- Bp and Iberdrola have selected Imefy to provide a transformer for Spain's largest renewable hydrogen production plant, emphasizing confidence in Spanish companies.
- Imefy, based in Toledo, will supply a 37 MVA power transformer with a 66/30 kV ratio for the plant at the bp refinery in Castellón by early 2026.
- The project, with an investment exceeding €70M, aims to aid in decarbonizing key industries like ceramics and heavy transport in the Valencian Community.
- The green hydrogen produced will contribute to reducing carbon emissions by replacing natural gas in industrial processes, fostering regional integration and innovation.
Bp and Iberdrola have awarded Imefy, a company based in Toledo, Spain, the contract to manufacture and supply a transformer for the largest renewable hydrogen production plant in Spain. This plant, with a capacity of 25 MW, will be situated at the bp refinery in Castellón. Imefy will deliver a three-phase power transformer with 37 megavolt-amperes (MVA) of power and a 66/30 kilovolt (kV) transformation ratio by the first quarter of 2026. This collaboration showcases the confidence of bp and Iberdrola in Spanish companies for developing the renewable hydrogen value chain, promoting industrial and innovation opportunities in the region. The project, anticipated to be operational by the second half of 2026, will involve an investment exceeding €70M. Furthermore, the green hydrogen generated is earmarked for usage in challenging-to-decarbonize industries within the Valencian Community, such as ceramics and heavy transport, replacing natural gas in their processes. This initiative not only aids in reducing carbon emissions but also plays a significant role in regional integration and innovation.
