Wedoany.com Report-Aug. 20, ITM Power, a Sheffield, U.K.-based company, has signed a supply agreement and binding heads of terms for a long-term services agreement with MorGen Energy for the 20-megawatt West Wales Hydrogen Project in Milford Haven, U.K. Announced on August 19, 2025, this milestone advances the project under the U.K. government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) program. With permits secured and commercial terms nearing completion, the project is on track for a Final Investment Decision and is expected to begin construction before the end of the year.

The initiative will utilize ITM Power’s 20-megawatt POSEIDON modular electrolyzer platform, designed for scalable, high-performance green hydrogen production. The project, located at the former Milford Haven Refinery site, will supply hydrogen to industrial clusters in Milford Haven, Port Talbot, and other locations across Wales, while also supporting eco-friendly transportation. ITM Power previously provided electrolyzers for Shell’s Refhyne II project in Germany, reinforcing its expertise in green hydrogen technology.

Funding for the West Wales Hydrogen Project comes from the U.K. Department for Energy Security & Net Zero’s HAR1 program, supporting the development of sustainable energy solutions. The project is expected to create high-value jobs, strengthen local supply chains, and contribute to economic growth in the region.

“This contract marks a major milestone for ITM Power and the UK hydrogen sector. Selection for the West Wales Hydrogen Project demonstrates confidence in our technology, delivery capability, and the critical role green hydrogen plays in the energy transition,” said Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM Power. “We are proud to be partnering with MorGen Energy to bring POSEIDON to life in a project of national significance.”

“The West Wales Hydrogen Project is a cornerstone of our vision for a cleaner, more resilient energy future for Wales and the U.K.,” said Werner Lieberherr, CEO of MorGen Energy. “Working with ITM Power’s world-class electrolyzer technology allows us to deliver not only a pioneering energy project, but also an economic catalyst—creating high-value jobs, strengthening supply chains, and positioning Wales at the forefront of the green hydrogen economy. Guided by a purpose-led and performance-driven approach, we are committed to ensuring this partnership delivers both environmental impact and lasting prosperity for the communities we serve.”

The collaboration between ITM Power and MorGen Energy highlights the growing importance of green hydrogen in sustainable energy systems. By leveraging advanced technology and strategic partnerships, the West Wales Hydrogen Project aims to support the U.K.’s clean energy goals while fostering economic development and environmental sustainability in the region.
