Innomotics Powers USA's Green Hydrogen Leap
Austin, Thursday, 16 January 2025.
Innomotics is supplying PR150 rectifiers for hydrogen research at NREL in Colorado, marking progress in green energy tech. This project could advance decarbonisation goals, supporting a sustainable future.
Major Contract Details
I’m excited to share that Innomotics GmbH has secured a significant order from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for three PR150 rectifiers [1]. These aren’t just any power supply units - they’re specifically engineered for green hydrogen production, capable of supporting hydrogen electrolyzers in the impressive power range of 5 to 16 MW [1]. The installation is scheduled for the second quarter of 2026 at NREL’s Flatirons campus in Golden, Colorado [1][3].
Technical Innovation and Manufacturing
The manufacturing process has a distinctly German touch - these PR150 units will be produced at our Nuremberg facility [1]. What’s particularly interesting is how we’re delivering them: they’ll be shipped in a 40-foot packaged control room [1], ensuring everything arrives as a complete, integrated solution. This project showcases Innomotics’ substantial capabilities, backed by our team of approximately 15,000 employees and our impressive annual revenue exceeding €3 billion [1].
Global Impact and Future Prospects
Doug Keith, CEO of Innomotics Americas, emphasizes this project’s significance: ‘This project presents a tremendous opportunity to collaborate with a marquee research and development entity’ [1]. I find it particularly noteworthy that this installation will support one of the leading hydrogen energy test facilities in the USA [3]. With our global presence spanning 17 production sites and a service network across 49 countries [1], this project represents a crucial step forward in advancing green hydrogen technology and supporting decarbonization goals [1].
