Shell and TenneT Partner to Connect Holland Hydrogen 1 to High-Voltage Grid in the Netherlands
Key Ideas
  • Shell and TenneT have signed an agreement to connect the Holland Hydrogen 1 plant, a 200 MW electrolyzer, to the high-voltage grid on Maasvlakte in the Netherlands.
  • The hydrogen plant will initially have a temporary connection to the high-voltage substation in Amaliahaven at Maasvlakte 2 until a new substation is completed by the end of 2026.
  • This partnership aims to make the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam more sustainable by facilitating the transport of hydrogen via a dedicated pipeline to the port of Rotterdam.
  • The complete connection to the high-voltage grid will be provided to Shell as soon as the new substation is commissioned, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the hydrogen production process.
Shell and TenneT have entered into an agreement to connect the Holland Hydrogen 1 plant, a 200 MW electrolyzer located on the Maasvlakte in Rotterdam, to the high-voltage grid. Initially, the electrolyzer will be connected through a temporary link to the Maasvlakte 380 kV high-voltage substation in Amaliahaven at Maasvlakte 2. Due to space constraints on existing substations, a new substation is set to be completed by the end of 2026 to ensure a permanent and complete connection for Shell. The new plant, positioned behind the dunes on Maasvlakte 2, will play a crucial role in the sustainability efforts of the Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam by enabling the transportation of hydrogen to the port of Rotterdam through a dedicated pipeline. This development signifies a step towards a greener and more efficient energy infrastructure in the region.
