"The emphasis of the business is now on the scaling up of H-Power Generators, initially with a focus on the air cooled S Series, where we believe the majority of the short term system demand lies within our core target markets. With this in mind, the Company has decided, in collaboration with Juelich, to cancel the contract announced in 2020, for the sale of a 100kW L Series generator, which if delivered, would now prove a distraction to the Company's core technology and customer targets. Juelich confirmed it would only expect to be in a position to receive any fuel cell system in 2024 and so, with the progression of AFC Energy's technology, cost inflation and the delay to delivery, this was a mutual decision."
So yes, the order has been cancelled, but "Juelich confirmed it would only expect to be in a position to receive any fuel cell system in 2024" suggests (to me anyway) that they will make a decision one way or the other regarding placing a new order for an S+ Series sometime next year.
Also "and so, with the progression of AFC Energy's technology, cost inflation and the delay to delivery, this was a mutual decision." indicates that Juelich are happy to continue working with AFC and therefore 'could' place an order for an S+ Series at some point next year.
It would have been great to have this showcase in Germany considering we are targeting sales in Germany, but some other showcase is bound to pop up there, maybe via ABB in a Data Center or something.
