ITM wins German contract

Electrolyser manufacture ITM Power has won a contract with Westnetz GmbH, a German distribution system operator for electricity and gas.

The contract will see Westnetz integrate the ITM’s NEPTUNE V unit for their customer, a public transport operator and subsidiary of a German utility company.

The project forms part of plans to achieve the EU’s Clean Vehicles Directive and have an emission-free hydrogen bus fleet by 2030.

NEPTUNE V is ITM’s full scope 5MW containerised green hydrogen plant, which utilises its TRIDENT stack technology. It provides reliable, flexible, and highly efficient hydrogen production capacity and the industry’s smallest footprint per MW.

Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM, said: “We are proud to partner with our customer Westnetz. Since its launch in 2024, NEPTUNE V has established itself as the leading containerised green hydrogen plant on the market. Over the last six months, we have already signed 45MW of NEPTUNE V contracts.”
