Plug Power to build hydrogen plant in Camden, Georgia

Plug Power Inc. is set to build a green hydrogen production plant in Camden County, Georgia, to serve customers across the southeastern United States. 

The plant will produce 15 tons per day of liquid green hydrogen, produced using 100% renewable energy and intended to fuel transportation applications, including material handling and fuel cell electric vehicle fleets. Plug Power is investing US$84 million in the facility, which is expected to create at least 24 jobs in the local community starting in 2022.

Plug Power is working closely with local and state authorities as it moves forward with the project. Plug Power has signed a Purchase Power Agreement with Okefenokee Rural Electric Membership Corporation to source the renewable electricity needed to power the plant. Additionally, the company is entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Camden County Joint Development Authority for land and local site support. The exact location for the plant and details about construction and job openings will be announced upon finalization later this year.
