Plug Power Inc., a global leader in hydrogen solutions, recently increased its liquidity by approximately $30 million through a Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) transfer to a major investor. This transaction, which utilized the transferability rules under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022, marked Plug's first use of such rules and was one of the initial transfer deals for hydrogen storage and liquefaction assets. The IRA introduced new tax credits for hydrogen storage and liquefaction assets, allowing facilities like Plug's green hydrogen plant in Woodbine, Georgia, to benefit from the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for green hydrogen produced and the ITC on hydrogen storage and liquefaction assets. By leveraging these tax credits, Plug aims to reduce future fuel costs and enhance liquidity. Plug's CEO highlighted the importance of tax credits in driving green hydrogen expansion, energy independence, and job growth, aligning with the company's and the government's shared objectives. The strategic use of the IRA provisions underscores Plug's commitment to advancing clean energy investments. Overall, Plug is focused on building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, deploying fuel cell systems and fueling stations to support customers in decarbonizing the economy. The company's plans include a green hydrogen highway across North America and Europe, emphasizing its dedication to sustainable energy solutions.
