EU clears €35bn German capacity mechanism to underpin hydrogen-ready power | Decarbonisation Policy


The European Commission has approved a German mechanism worth up to €35bn ($40.5bn), which is expected to provide long-term revenue support for a new generation of hydrogen-ready gas-fired power plants.

Under the scheme, new gas-fired generators seeking 15-year capacity contracts will be required to be hydrogen-ready, while all capacity benefiting from contracts must operate in a “climate-neutral” manner by 2045 at the latest.
