Is Plug Power's $700M Revenue Target for 2025 Within Reach?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
PLUG targets about $700M in 2025 revenues after posting $484.7M in the first nine months of the year.
PLUG's electrolyzer revenues jumped 61% year over year in the first nine months of 2025.
PLUG needs about $215M in Q4 as declining legacy product demand offsets electrolyzer growth.
Plug Power Inc. (PLUG - Free Report) has set an ambitious goal for 2025, aiming to generate approximately $700 million in revenues as demand for hydrogen-based solutions continues to grow. In the first nine months of 2025, the company reported revenues of $484.7 million, reflecting an increase of 10.8% year over year.
Solid demand for electrolyzers is driving Plug Power’s growth. In the first nine months of 2025, revenues from this product line surged 61% year over year and accounted for 24.7% of the company’s total revenues. Demand for GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers remains strong across industrial and energy markets worldwide. PLUG has a robust pipeline of electrolyzer projects and is working to mobilize more than 230 MW of its GenEco electrolyzers across North America, Europe and Australia. Recent milestones include a five-MW electrolyzer planned for Hy2gen’s Sunrhyse hydrogen production plant in France, a five-MW installation for the H2 Hollandia project in the Netherlands and the delivery of a 10-MW GenEco electrolyzer to Galp’s Sines Refinery in Portugal.
However, growth in electrolyzers is being partially offset by decreasing demand for its legacy products. Lower hydrogen infrastructure installations, slower cryogenic equipment project timelines, softer GenDrive fuel cell demand and reduced engineered oil and gas equipment sales are concerning for the company.
To achieve the $700 million target, Plug Power will need to generate about $215 million in the fiscal fourth quarter. Expanding project opportunities and rising global interest in clean hydrogen position PLUG to achieve its 2025 revenue target.
