In April 2025, Plug Power’s Georgia hydrogen plant set a U.S. production record using GenEco systems.

The company is anticipating additional customer commitments this year for the GenEco electrolyzers. It is also expecting multiple large-scale projects to advance toward final investment decisions in 2026.

Plug Power is pursuing pre-final investment decision agreements to secure long-term value earlier in the development cycle.

It said the extension of the Investment Tax Credit through 2026 is expected to drive demand for the GenDrive fuel cells in material handling applications. The company anticipates the new demand to drive bookings in 2H 2025, paving the way for significant growth in 2026.

In Q1 2025, Plug Power reported a revenue of $133.67 million, an 11% YoY increase compared to $120.26 million. This growth was driven by rising demand for electrolyzers, consistent material handling activity, and continued deployment within its cryogenic platform.
