Plug Power Delivers First 10 MW Electrolyzer to Galp as Shares Jump

The milestone advances a 100 MW refinery project in Portugal expected to produce up to 15,000 tons of green hydrogen annually.

Overview

  • Plug completed delivery of the first 10 MW GenEco electrolyzer module to Galp’s Sines refinery, the first of ten units planned for a 100 MW system.
  • Once operational, the installation is designed to produce up to 15,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year and replace about 20% of the refinery’s grey hydrogen.
  • Plug shares rose roughly in the high teens to about 20% during Wednesday trading, with reporting also linking recent momentum to AI data‑center power demand.
  • The company describes Sines as among Europe’s largest PEM electrolyzer projects and highlights Europe as a priority market alongside deployments in Spain and the U.K.
  • Despite the operational progress, analysts still characterize Plug as a speculative stock given past liquidity strains, dilution risk, and an uncertain path to sustained profitability.
