Wpd AG will partner with Lhyfe, a French green hydrogen manufacturer, to deploy 600 MW of electrolysers to produce green hydrogen using electricity generated by the renewable developer's 1 GW Storgrundet wind farm in Swedish waters. The proposed plant will be built in stages, beginning in 2025.
The green hydrogen factory will be located in an industrial area in the municipality of Soderhamn, Sweden, and will be capable of producing 240 tonnes of green hydrogen per year. After the Storgrundet offshore wind complex is operational, production will begin.
The 1,020 MW Storgrundet wind farm, which will be built off the coast of Soderhamn in the Baltic Sea, will feature 51 turbines with a tip height of 290 meters. It is estimated to generate up to 3.5 TWh of electricity per year once it is operational. Permitting for the project is still in the works.
