Sheffield-based green hydrogen and energy storage firm ITM Power announced it signed a contract to supply four NEPTUNE V units, totalling 20MW, to La Française de l’Energie SA (FDE), an independent multi-energy producer.

“NEPTUNE V is our full-scope 5MW containerised green hydrogen plant, which utilises ITM’s leading and proven TRIDENT stack technology,” said ITM.

“It provides reliable, flexible, and highly efficient hydrogen production capacity and the industry’s smallest footprint per MW.

“The NEPTUNE V units will be deployed into the first phase of Norway’s Hydrogen Hub Agder project, 100% owned by Greenstat, a subsidiary of FDE, developing green energy production projects in Norway.

“The 20MW green hydrogen hub facility will be dedicated to supplying the maritime industry, and production is expected to start in late 2026. The second phase is expected to be an additional 40MW, which is planned to be launched in 2027.”

ITM CEO Dennis Schulz said: “The Nordic countries present an exciting opportunity for green hydrogen, and it is a privilege that FDE has selected us for the Agder Hydrogen Hub in Norway.”

FDE CEO Antoine Forcinal said: “We are delighted to work with ITM as a partner for the supply of an integrated electrolyser solution for our Agder Hydrogen Hub project, one of the largest green hydrogen projects in Norway.”
