‘Unorthodox’ | Europe’s largest standalone green hydrogen project secures temporary grid connection
hell’s 200MW Holland Hydrogen 1 green hydrogen project in the Netherlands has secured a temporary high-voltage grid connection so it can begin operations in 2025 — because the substation planned for the scheme will not be ready until a year later.
Shell’s 200MW Holland Hydrogen 1 green hydrogen project in the Netherlands has secured a temporary high-voltage grid connection so it can begin operations in 2025 — because the substation planned for the scheme will not be ready until a year later.
Dutch power network operator TenneT signed the grid connection agreement with Shell on Friday, amid ongoing congestion problems on the national electricity system.
The deal will see the green hydrogen project — set to be Europe’s largest if it begins operations on schedule in 2025 — connected to the 380kV high-voltage Maasvlakte substation in Rotterdam on a “temporary and limited” basis.
