These facilities, once completed are expected to increase the Sheffield-based hydrogen power equipment maker's manufacturing capacity to 5 gigawatts per annum by 2024.

The price per share reflects a 16% discount from ITM Power's closing price of 474.80p on Thursday.
Shares in ITM Power were down 7.6% at 438.70 pence on Friday morning in London.
The capital raise is now conditional on shareholder approval at a general meeting to be held on November 3.
Following the issue, ITM Power nor has 613.2 million shares issued overall.
