Iberdrola is planning the Y Basque Green Hydrogen Initiative- a corridor that entails building three hydrogen generation plants in the logistical centers of Vitoria/Júndiz, Bilbao, and Pasaia. The aim is to facilitate the decarbonization of heavy road transport, buses, and light industrial vehicles, as well as for port and airport use in the region and in the chemical industry.

Open for public use, the project will be modular and expandable and will involve an investment of more than EUR37 million (US$45.2 million). It includes the construction of electrolyzers with a 10 MW capacity to produce a total of 4,000 kg/day of green hydrogen and on-site photovoltaic plants for self-consumption which, added to the renewable energy supplied by Iberdrola, will allow these facilities to supply 100% renewable, emission-free energy.

The initiative also envisions the incorporation of energy storage equipment in the form of smart batteries. They will accumulate the surplus photovoltaic production not consumed by the plants, in order to feed it into the grid or use it for hydrogen production at optimal times.
