AFC Energy receives first order from ACCIONA for hydrogen power unit.
AFC Energy PLC (AIM:AFC, OTC:AFGYF) said it has received a first order for an H-Power ‘S’ Series 50kVA hydrogen-powered generator from Spanish construction group ACCIONA.
The generator, which is designed for heavy-duty construction and temporary power demands, will be delivered to Spain in the second half of 2023, AFC said.
ACCIONA will initially rent the generator, which comprises a 30kW AFC Energy air-cooled fuel cell and 45kWh battery storage system, for the first six months with an option to buy thereafter.

The Spanish group currently has a fleet of thirty 80 kVA diesel generators and this is a first step towards their replacement, AFC said in a statement.
AFC and ACCIONA have been trialling hydrogen power generators in Spain, but this new 50kVA version is cheaper to run and delivers 400% more power.
Miguel Paris Torres, Head of Area at ACCIONA’s Construction R&D Centre, said:
The system’s modularity, scalability and compactness make this an ideal platform to displace diesel generators from our construction sites in the near term.
Adam Bond, AFC’s chief executive, added:
ACCIONA is a key relationship for AFC Energy and has provided support to us in defining the ‘voice of the customer’ in a way that has informed the design specification and operation of our new 50kVA H-Power S Series emissions-free genset.
“Decarbonisation of the construction industry, in the UK, Europe and internationally is an important step in society’s move towards Net Zero.”
