ITM Power has announced a significant milestone in the UK’s green hydrogen sector with the signing of a supply agreement and binding heads of terms for a long-term services agreement with MorGen Energy. The partnership centres on the 20MW West Wales Hydrogen project located in Milford Haven, UK.
The project represents a major step forward under the UK Government’s HAR1 initiative. With permits already secured and commercial terms with project stakeholders nearing completion, the development is progressing steadily toward its Final Investment Decision. The project is expected to break ground before the end of the calendar year.
Central to the project is ITM Power’s POSEIDON platform, a 20MW modular electrolyser system that reinforces the company’s position as a leader in scalable, high-performance green hydrogen solutions. The technology deployment marks a significant application of advanced electrolyser capabilities in the UK market.
Werner Lieberherr, CEO of MorGen Energy, emphasised the project’s broader significance for Wales and the UK. He described the West Wales Hydrogen Project as “a cornerstone of our vision for a cleaner, more resilient energy future” and highlighted the partnership’s potential to serve as both a pioneering energy initiative and an economic catalyst. Lieberherr noted that the project aims to create high-value jobs, strengthen supply chains, and position Wales at the forefront of the green hydrogen economy while delivering environmental impact and lasting prosperity for local communities.
Dennis Schulz, CEO of ITM Power, characterised the contract as “a major milestone for ITM Power and the UK hydrogen sector.” He emphasised that the selection for the West Wales Hydrogen Project demonstrates confidence in the company’s technology and delivery capabilities, as well as recognition of green hydrogen’s critical role in the energy transition. Schulz expressed pride in partnering with MorGen Energy to implement POSEIDON technology in a project of national significance.
The announcement signals continued momentum in the UK’s green hydrogen sector, with the West Wales project serving as an example of how government initiatives, advanced technology, and strategic partnerships are converging to advance the nation’s clean energy objectives.
