Nel completes expansion of Connecticut PEM electrolyser factory to 500MW

Nel has extended and automated the manufacturing of its PEM hydrogen electrolysers at its Wallingford facility in Connecticut, US.

Opened by Democratic Senator, Richard Blumenthal, the site’s annual capacity has been increased from 50 to 500MW, which the Norwegian original equipment manufacturer (OEM) has said will reduce the cost of its electrolysers by 30%.

Paul Lavoie, Nel’s Chief Manufacturing Officer at the Connecticut facility, said, “Automating production facilities is the only way you are going to be able to compete on a global level.”
