The AIM-traded, Sheffield-based electrolyser manufacturer said the project related to MorGen Energy’s West Wales Hydrogen development in Milford Haven, for which it would supply its 20MW Poseidon core electrolysis process module.
It said the facility, located at the former Milford Haven Refinery, was expected to produce around 2,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year once operational.
Commissioning was targeted for 2028, with the plant intended to supply industrial customers across Milford Haven, Port Talbot and the wider Welsh industrial cluster.
The project was among the first supported by the UK government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) programme to reach final investment decision.
Alongside the project approval, ITM said it had signed a 10-year long-term service agreement with MorGen Energy covering maintenance and operational support for the plant once it enters service.
Werner Lieberherr, chief executive of MorGen Energy, said the investment decision represented a key step for the UK’s hydrogen industry.
“Reaching FID on West Wales Hydrogen is a defining milestone for MorGen and the UK hydrogen sector.
“This project demonstrates that green hydrogen projects in the UK can be delivered as bankable infrastructure investments when strong industrial demand is combined with a clear and stable policy framework.”
He added that the company was “grateful for the strong support of the UK Government, especially the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, and our partners, and we look forward to beginning construction and delivering hydrogen to our customers from 2028.”
ITM Power chief executive Dennis Schulz said the agreement underlined the company’s role in the emerging hydrogen economy.
“The MorGen Energy West Wales project is an important milestone for green hydrogen in the UK, and we are proud that our technology will be at its core,” he said.
“Our partnership with MorGen Energy highlights our dedication to providing reliable, high-performance electrolysers that aid the UK's industrial decarbonisation efforts.”
