Can Rising Electrolyzer Demand be a Catalyst for PLUG's Long-Term Growth?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Plug Power's electrolyzer revenues jumped 200% year over year in Q2 2025.
Growing demand comes from industrial users and energy sectors worldwide.
New projects in Portugal and Uzbekistan highlight Plug Power's global reach.
Plug Power Inc.’s (PLUG - Free Report) electrolyzer product line is emerging as the primary growth driver. In the second quarter of 2025, revenues from this product line surged approximately 200% on a year-over-year basis. This sharp rise was supported by increased product deliveries and new orders across North America and Europe.
Demand for Plug Power’s GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers is rising among industrial and energy sectors globally. This rising demand is supported by strong policy backing in Europe, where government investments and faster project timelines are helping accelerate the use of green hydrogen.
It is worth noting that in October 2025, Plug Power delivered a 10-megawatt (MW) GenEco electrolyzer to Galp’s Portugal-based Sines Refinery, which is Europe’s largest PEM hydrogen project. The company will install a total of 10 arrays of GenEco electrolyzers with Hydrogen Processing Units by early 2026. Also, in June 2025, PLUG expanded its partnership with Allied Green Ammonia with a new two-gigawatt electrolyzer project in Uzbekistan. This deal builds on their existing three GW project in Australia and strengthens the company’s position as a leading provider of large-scale hydrogen solutions worldwide.
Although, the ongoing challenges, including negative gross margins and cash outflows, are likely to affect PLUG’s near-term performance, rising demand for electrolyzers in the green hydrogen market and the Quantum Leap project are likely to be beneficial in the long run.
