Planning the construction of a 10 MW electrolyzer
Hydrogen production
In the future, Westfalen Weser wants to use surplus wind energy to produce green hydrogen to supply industry and hydrogen filling stations. The municipal energy service provider is planning to build a 10 MW electrolyzer in the energy city of Lichtenau together with Stadtwerke Lichtenau GmbH. Grid-friendly storage is also to be tested in order to gradually reduce the curtailment of local wind turbines.
