Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) announced Cummins Inc. will supply a 25-megawatt (MW) electrolyzer system for the FPL Cavendish NextGen Hydrogen Hub Florida's kind green hydrogen plant which could lay the groundwork for a 100% carbon-free energy future. The FPL Cavendish NextGen Hydrogen Hub will leverage solar energy to power the electrolysis process that produces green, or carbon-free, hydrogen from water. Once produced, the green hydrogen will be blended with natural gas and used to power an existing combustion turbine at the co-located FPL Okeechobee Clean Energy Center creating cleaner energy that will help power FPL customers across the grid.
The system will be composed of five Cummins HyLYZER®-1000 PEM electrolyzers for a total of 25 MW or 10.8 tons of hydrogen produced per day.
