Wind collaboration for ITM Power

ENERGY storage and clean fuel company ITM Power has signed an agreement to identify and develop wind to hydrogen projects in the UK, Ireland and Germany.

ABO Wind of Wiesbaden, Germany, is partnering with Sheffield-based ITM Power on the project.

To date, ABO Wind has connected more than 350 turbines with a total capacity of more than 600 megawatts through projects in the UK, Europe and Latin America.

In addition to managing its own projects developed after commissioning, ABO Wind takes on the commercial and technical management of wind farms on behalf of international operators. ABO Wind manages 297 wind farms.
 
Phil Doran, of ITM Power, said: “ABO Wind is a market leader in Germany for turnkey wind power projects and is increasingly developing a strong presence in the UK.

“This is an ideal partnership for ITM Power to roll out green hydrogen energy systems. We are delighted to have found such a significant partner who shares our vision of wind power coupled to energy storage.”
 
ABO Wind’s head of prototype projects, Thomas Nietsch, added: “ITM Power is gaining an international reputation in the area of hydrogen energy systems and we are looking forward to delivering some world-leading MW-scale projects together with our partner.”
