For its recently announced deal, Fusion Fuel Green will develop a 75-megawatt green hydrogen plant in Bakersfield, California in conjunction with another firm, Electus Energy, which specializes in “microgrid solutions producing both clean electricity and fuel at no upfront cost.” Fusion Fuel Green and Electus have formed an exclusive joint venture to carry out the project.

The new plant will use solar energy to create hydrogen and will also utilize Fusion Fuel’s HEVO technology. This technology is “capable of producing up to 9,300 tons of green hydrogen per annum including nighttime operation,” according to the company’s press release. The Bakersfield facility will be able to provide sufficient power for “over 1,000 Class 8 trucks or buses per day.”

Fusion Fuel says that about $180 million of capital will be needed to launch the plant. However, the company did not provide an estimate on the amount of revenue or profit the factory could generate. Per Seeking Alpha, Fusion Fuel expects a “final investment decision” in early 2024 and “commissioning in the first half of 2025.”
