JUNO BEACH, Fla. -Florida Power and Light Company (FPL) announced this week that Cummins Inc. will supply a 25-megawatt electrolyzer system for the groundbreaking FPL Cavendish NextGen Hydrogen Hub. It is Florida’s first of its kind “green” hydrogen plant, which could lay the groundwork for a 100% carbon-free energy future.
“We are focused on making smart, long-term investments to build a more modern, stronger, and cleaner energy grid that future generations can depend on,” said FPL President/CEO Eric Silagy.
The FPL hub will leverage solar energy to power the electrolysis process that produces “green,” or carbon-free, hydrogen from water.
“This project is exciting for Cummins as we establish green hydrogen as a viable way to decarbonize the economy here in the United States,” said Amy Davis, President of New Power at Cummins. “FPL’s commitment to the acceleration of the energy transition and support of future demand for affordable renewables is one we passionately share.”
