Plug Power Extends Strategic Hydrogen Supply Agreement with Multi-Year Contract and Improved Economics with Key Hydrogen Supplier
New Deal Strengthens Domestic Hydrogen Supply, Reduces Cost Structure and Supports Continued Growth of Plug Applications
SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions, today announced a new multi-year enhanced supply agreement with a leading U.S.-based industrial gas company and longtime hydrogen partner through 2030. The agreement extends the companies’ current strategic relationship through 2030, securing reliable hydrogen supply for Plug’s growing applications business while significantly reducing the cost structure and improving cash flows.
As part of the extension, the strategic partner will continue to supply Plug with liquid hydrogen while immediately reducing the cost and collaborating on improved network efficiency. The extension aligns with Plug’s strategic objectives to strengthen margins, enhance operational flexibility and support customer demand across a growing base of over 275 hydrogen-consuming customer sites and growing.
“This expanded agreement supports our mission to build on our already robust and resilient hydrogen network in the U.S.,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug. “As we continue to scale our applications business and build long-term partnerships with customers, reliable supply and cost efficiency are critical. This contract is a win for Plug, our customers, our suppliers and our margin profile. The immediate cost reduction complements our progress this year with , focused on cost optimization and cash flow improvement.”
Plug’s diverse and growing customer base, along with the continued rollout of new sites, demands the ongoing expansion of its hydrogen solutions and supporting network. While Plug continues to scale its own hydrogen production capacity, current market dynamics and anticipated growth necessitate a mix of hydrogen solutions and strong partnerships to advance the industry. Strategic supply agreements like this one allow Plug to meet growing application demand while preserving resources and strengthening partnerships across the value chain.
Plug is rapidly expanding its generation network to ensure a reliable, domestically produced supply, with hydrogen plants currently operational in Georgia, Tennessee and Louisiana. Together, these facilities represent 40 tons per day of liquid hydrogen production capacity, with additional plants under development to further increase Plug’s footprint and support national infrastructure needs. Plug is launching over 40 new sites in 2025 and anticipates continued growth in the industry in 2026 onward, expanding the need for more ubiquitous and cost-efficient hydrogen supply.
This announcement follows the recent passage of energy and tax legislation supporting U.S. clean hydrogen development. This legislation will provide strong tailwinds in the near and mid-term for additional market growth. Plug’s expanded agreement with this partner highlights how strong U.S.-based industrial partnerships are advancing a domestic hydrogen economy to support this ongoing growth.
