A £150m green hydrogen plant is to be built at the Port of Felixstowe, according to proposals by ScottishPower.
The 100mw plant will be used to provide fuel to power trains, trucks and ships at the UK’s busiest container port. The site in Suffolk will have the capacity to power 1,300 hydrogen trucks from 2026.
Spanish-owned ScottishPower has submitted an application to the government’s Net Zero Hydrogen Fund for the plant, which will be built on a brownfield site around the size of a football pitch within the port. It is already in the process of building a smaller hydrogen facility near Glasgow.
