Plug Power has announced a major milestone in its clean energy journey, reporting record production of 324 tonnes of green hydrogen at its Georgia facility during August 2025. The achievement marks the highest monthly output at the site and highlights the company’s growing ability to deliver reliable, large-scale hydrogen solutions in the United States.

The Woodbine plant, touted as the largest operating green hydrogen facility in the US, showcased impressive performance metrics. According to Plug, the site operated with 97% uptime, 99.7% availability (excluding a grid outage), and 92.8% efficiency. These figures, the company said, demonstrate the resilience of its technology and underline its readiness to meet the rising demand for green hydrogen across industries.

The Georgia facility uses Plug’s proprietary 5MW GenEco electrolysers, which form part of the company’s modular PEM (proton exchange membrane) product line. Plug highlighted the plant’s performance as proof that its electrolyser technology can operate at scale, delivering consistent results in real-world conditions.

While celebrating the Georgia milestone, Plug also noted that it is building out additional hydrogen production capacity in Tennessee and Louisiana. Although those plants are not yet at full operational levels, the company believes they will further cement its leadership position in the US green hydrogen market once fully ramped up.

The operational success in Georgia comes at a crucial time for Plug, which has been undergoing a corporate turnaround. Since 2024, the firm has focused on cutting costs, consolidating operations, and renegotiating supplier contracts in an effort to achieve margin neutrality by the end of 2025. Despite reporting Q2 revenues of $174 million, up 21% year-on-year, the company continued to face financial pressures with margins still at –31%. Electrolyser sales, however, surged to $45 million in the quarter, tripling compared to last year, indicating a strong market appetite for Plug’s technology.

As part of its financial strategy, Plug has leveraged the Georgia plant to strengthen its balance sheet. Earlier this year, the company sold a $30 million investment tax credit tied to the facility, demonstrating both the project’s value and its role in Plug’s broader financing approach. The sale also underscored the importance of policy incentives such as those under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which continue to shape the pace of hydrogen deployment in the United States.

Analysts note that the record output in Georgia could boost industry confidence in Plug’s technology and operational expertise, particularly as global hydrogen markets expand. With mounting demand from sectors such as shipping, steelmaking, chemicals, and heavy transport, consistent and cost-competitive hydrogen production will be critical to decarbonisation efforts.
