Plug Power and Allied Green Expand Strategic Collaboration with New 2 GW Electrolyzer Deal in Uzbekistan

By: via GlobeNewswire

Plug Power and Allied Green Leadership attending International Investment Forum to Execute the Agreement

Allied Green Continues to Make Meaningful Progress in its Green Ammonia Plant in Australia with Plug to supply 3GW of Electrolyzer Capacity Bringing the total opportunity between partners to 5GW globally

SLINGERLANDS, N.Y., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions, today announced a significant expansion of its partnership with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA), with a new 2 gigawatt (GW) electrolyzer opportunity tied to a sustainable fuels project in Uzbekistan. The deal will be executed during the Tashkent International Investment Forum, where Sanjay Shrestha, President of Plug, and Alfred Benedict, Managing Director of Allied Green, will be on site for the official signing.

Plug’s electrolyzer technology has been selected as the foundation of a new $5.5 billion green chemical production facility in Uzbekistan that will produce sustainable aviation fuel, green urea, and green diesel. The project is backed by the Government of Uzbekistan and further strengthens Plug’s position as the preferred electrolyzer provider for global-scale decarbonization initiatives.

“This latest expansion with Allied Green demonstrates how Plug is leading the global hydrogen transition with proven electrolyzer technology and execution at industrial scale,” said Andy Marsh, CEO of Plug. “With a 5 GW partnership now spanning two continents, this is a defining example of our ability to deliver for customers building the future of energy.”

“This agreement reflects our deep confidence in Plug’s team, technology, and ability to deliver on bold, world-class projects,” said Alfred Benedict of Allied Green Ammonia. “Together, we are creating meaningful momentum for global decarbonization—first in Australia, now in Uzbekistan, and in future regions to come.”

The Uzbekistan project builds on Allied Green’s previously announced 3 GW electrolyzer commitment for its flagship green ammonia facility in Australia. The project remains on track for a final investment decision in the fourth quarter of 2025.

“This continued collaboration with Allied Green reflects Plug’s ability to support ambitious decarbonization goals with scalable electrolyzer technology,” said Sanjay Shrestha, President of Plug. “As we look to expand our relationship, we see strong alignment in our shared vision for accelerating the global shift to low-carbon hydrogen across industries and regions.”

Plug’s technology is deployed or under development across five continents, supporting customers in the industrial, transportation, energy, and chemical sectors. As global companies invest in green hydrogen infrastructure, Plug continues to stand out as the most experienced and scalable partner—delivering the integrated hydrogen ecosystem necessary to power the energy transition.
