There is a bit more good news here about its cost.
The UK-based manufacturer said the plant’s “compact footprint” would allow it to be integrated into larger, multi-hundred-megawatt systems.
ITM said the €50m “full-scope” price covers the complete plant – including water purification, all electrolyser skids, BOP, and control systems – but excludes site-specific costs such as shipping, installation, and civil works.
The stated price of around $1,166/kW places it highly competitively against Western systems currently being marketed at $2,000–$2,500/kW, according to some reports.
CEO Dennis Schulz told H2 View the Alpha 50 would outperform comparable PEM, alkaline, and even Chinese systems on total installed cost.
ITM will produce the core skid including stacks at its factory in Sheffield, while the remaining BOP skids will be assembled in selected module yards, depending on project location. “This is a proven approach in the EPC world,” Schulz said.
The plant’s skidded modularity is based on a system allowing each 40ft skid to be easily put together on site, H2 View was told.
Furthermore, the plant can be scaled up or down in 10MW increments, allowing the firm to meet a range of project requirements.
“Alpha 50 is optimised for maximum hydrogen output and maximum plant availability,” Schulz said, explaining the plant features duplicates of failure-prone components like pumps.
