H2V
Arteixo
20 MW green hydrogen production plant
The H2V Arteixo project involves the construction of a green hydrogen production, storage and distribution plant on an industrial scale in the ACTECA economic activity park, located in the industrial zone of Moras (Arteixo, A Coruña province). It was declared a Strategic Industrial Project (PIE) by the Regional Government of Galicia in September 2024.
The facility will have an electrolysis capacity of up to 20 MW, with an effective production rate of approximately 3,000 tons of renewable hydrogen per year. The complex will include compression, storage and charging equipment, drinking water treatment systems, auxiliary cooling facilities, and a proprietary 66 kV line substation that will connect the plant to the power grid.
The energy supply will be procured through an energy purchase agreement (PPA) with renewable energy certificates of origin, ensuring the traceability and sustainability of all the electricity produced. The green hydrogen generated will be used by local consumers, helping to:
- Drive the decarbonization of mobility and industry in Galicia, reducing dependence on fossil fuels across the regional production fabric.
- Stimulate the local economy by promoting the development of suppliers and the deployment of new infrastructure linked to green hydrogen.
- Achieve the energy objectives of the EU and Spain, avoiding the emission of 26,819 tonnes of CO₂ to the atmosphere per year, with a total energy saving of 8.8 ktoe.
ACCIONA Energía and Plug Power anticipate a joint investment of €49 million, involving the creation of 1,129 stable jobs during the construction phase and 87 permanent jobs in the operational phase, with priority given to contracting personnel locally.
H2V Arteixo will cover the entire green hydrogen value chain, from production through storage, compression, and dispensing. Its strategic location makes the project a key node for supplying renewable hydrogen to industry and logistics in northwest Spain.
