Iberdrola’s Avangrid sets sights on US green hydrogen push
US unit proposes multiple green hydrogen projects as it looks to leverage its portfolio of wind and solar generation
The US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen Earthshot initiative is not even two months old and Spanish utility Iberdrola’s US division Avangrid has answered the call with a robust suite of potential projects. The DOE’s aim is to spin up a constellation of ideas, and to seed the landscape with shared proposals. It’s RFI (request for information) seeks ultimately to trigger a hydrogen ecosystem, lower the cost of electrolysis, and Avangrid’s existing asset base appears ripe for exploration of these goals. Avangrid identified its gas utility assets in the state of Connecticut, for example, as a prime candidate to deploy a 20MW electrolyser and hydrogen storage facility, capable of producing 2
