The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) has inked a power purchase agreement (PPA) for renewable power supply to Hyd’Occ, which is a green hydrogen facility located in Port-la Nouvelle. As part of this agreement, TRIG will supply wind power to Hyd’Occ from its onshore wind farms located in the Occitanie region.
Furthermore, the green hydrogen production unit is currently under construction and is expected to be commissioned in 2025. This green hydrogen project will produce 3,000 tons of renewable hydrogen annually once commissioned. This initiative will support low-carbon hydrogen production and contribute to the region’s energy transition.
The Renewables Infrastructure Group (TRIG) is a renewable energy infrastructure investment company and is listed in London. It holds a portfolio of wind, solar, and battery storage projects across six European countries, with a combined net generating capacity of 2.7 GW. In February 2024, TRIG acquired a 100 per cent equity interest in Fig Power, a UK-based developer focused on battery storage with a 1.7 GW development pipeline, including 400 MW with grid connection offers and a further 1.3 GW of exclusive sites.
REGlobal’s Views: More such green hydrogen hubs are expected to crop in the port regions of Europe in the near future to cater to energy demand of energy-intensive industries and long haul transport in the continent. Meanwhile, setting up such hubs close to ports also serves dual purposes of green hydrogen being used for shipping and for export.
