Innovative hydrogen-to-power projects
This consultation is open for responses
Respond to this consultationSummary
DESNZ seeks technical evidence on hydrogen-to-power projects that can deploy by 2030 without large-scale hydrogen infrastructure. The consultation targets developers with existing H2P deployment plans. No policy changes or funding commitments are proposed — this is information gathering for future policy development.
Why it matters
Government acknowledges hydrogen projects may need to develop ahead of coordinated infrastructure, creating potential for stranded assets or inefficient deployment patterns. The focus on 2030 delivery suggests recognition that Clean Power targets may require flexible generation sources, though no support mechanisms are offered.
Key facts
- •2030 delivery target
- •Focuses on projects deploying ahead of large-scale hydrogen infrastructure
- •Information gathering exercise, not policy proposal

Memo
The government is seeking technical evidence on innovative hydrogen to power projects that can deliver by 2030, ahead of large-scale enabling hydrogen infrastructure. Specifically, this call for evidence seeks technical information to help us understand in more detail the type of innovative H2P projects that could deliver rapidly, including the scope of planned projects, timescales, costs and barriers. The call for evidence is therefore aimed at stakeholders with existing plans for deployment of innovative hydrogen to power projects before large scale hydrogen infrastructure is available, such as the energy industry and project developers. This will help government consider the value, potential options, and risks associated with innovative projects that plan to deliver by 2030.
