Hydrogen production is a key pillar of Uniper’s new strategy, and our aim is to build more than 1 GW of electrolyser capacity across the business by 2030.
The potential development will contribute to transforming the site to a zero carbon technology and energy hub for the East Midlands, once the plant has stopped generating. This follows a decision by Rushcliffe Borough Council on 13 July, to grant a Local Development Order (LDO), giving outline planning permission for specific types of development including low-carbon energy production, at the site which is also part of the East Midlands Freeport and the East Midlands Hydrogen initiative, which was established by D2N2 alongside other stakeholders.
