RWE is progressing proposals to develop a green hydrogen production facility on RWE’s land adjacent to the existing Pembroke Power Station and has launched a statutory pre-application consultation to inform stakeholders and the community. RWE values the input of the local community and feedback will be used to help shape the plans.

RWE Pembroke Green Hydrogen will facilitate the generation of green hydrogen. Green hydrogen is produced from water, using energy obtained from renewable sources. The hydrogen can then be used to decarbonise local industrial activities in South Wales, by displacing their current fossil fuel usage.

RWE Pembroke Green Hydrogen would be located on RWE’s site to the west of Pembroke Power Station and would benefit from being well-screened from local communities, while being accessed via the current power station access road. As part of the planning application, RWE has undertaken a wide range of assessments to understand if there are any potential impacts of the development on the environment and local community.

Our proposals would comprise a 100-110MWe electrolysis plant, as well as associated infrastructure and a 1.5km pipeline to connect to nearby industry. Once operational, the site will be capable of producing 2 metric tonnes of hydrogen every hour.

Use of this hydrogen, in local industry is expected to directly result in the reduction of approximately 93,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year. This CO₂ saving is the equivalent of removing 18,600 cars from the road each year.
