Metacon has been selected as a supplier in a hydrogen project for a 7.5 MW electrolysis plant for Elektra Power SRL, Romania (Elektra). The transaction requires that the customary project contract is drawn up and signed, a work that will soon start together with the customer. The contract value is approximately €7.1 million (corresponding to approximately SEK 77.8 million at today's exchange rate).
The plant will utilise pressurised alkaline electrolysers supplied in collaboration with Metacon's partner PERIC Hydrogen Technology based in Handan, China, along with certain auxiliary equipment.
"I am very pleased to announce this first contract award for Metacon on the Romanian market. This is another proof of trust in Metacon's ability to provide proven and cost-effective hydrogen production solutions for customers in different places and with varying requirements. I am looking forward to collaborating with an energy pioneer like the Elektra Group in this project," commented Christer Wikner, President and CEO of Metacon.
"We continue to see strong future potential for green hydrogen and hydrogen applications in Romania as part of the future energy and fuel mix. We are pleased to team up with Metacon in this green hydrogen project," added Dan Oproescu, Managing Director of Elektra.
