ScottishPower's Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project: A Blueprint for Green Energy Expansion
Key Ideas
- ScottishPower's Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, located south of Glasgow, aims to produce up to 10 tons of hydrogen per day using renewable resources.
- The project integrates a 20 MW solar facility, a 50 MW BESS facility, and a 20 MW electrolyser to support green hydrogen production and energy stabilization efforts.
- The completion of the FEED study by Black & Veatch marks progress towards the operational status of the project, aligning with the UK's hydrogen allocation targets.
- Expected to be operational between 2025 and 2026, the Whitelee project will contribute to the UK's transition to greener energy sources, support zero-emission transport, and boost local economies.
ScottishPower's Whitelee Green Hydrogen Project, adjacent to the Whitelee Wind Farm in Glasgow, UK, has completed its Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study after contracting Black & Veatch. The project, part of the UK's hydrogen allocation rounds, aims to scale up green hydrogen production using renewable resources. The project is led by ScottishPower Renewables and involves ITM Power as the electrolyser designer, BOC (Linde) for engineering and operations, and Black & Veatch for the FEED study. With a planned operational date between 2025 and 2026, the project will integrate a 20 MW solar facility and a 50 MW BESS facility to enhance energy stability. The FEED study evaluated the electrolyser package design and balance of plant scope, setting the pace for the first phase of 10 MW proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis. By supporting zero-emission transport and local job creation, the project aligns with global energy and climate goals, showcasing the UK's commitment to green energy expansion.
