Greece approved the request of a firm developing a project for a giant solar park with a green hydrogen plant to double the electrolyzer capacity. The site is in the vicinity of the village of Mantasia in the Phthiotis regional unit.

The Ministry of Environment and Energy in Athens signed off on a proposed change in the project for a complex that would consist of a photovoltaic plant of a whopping 251.9 MW in peak capacity and a system for the production of green hydrogen, Newmoney reported. Mantasia Energeiaki, the project firm, is controlled by German companies Altus and Yamko Energy and France-based Omnes Capital, according to the article.

They can build a 100 MW green hydrogen unit, instead of the initially planned 50 MW. Altus is a subsidiary of Kraftwerke Mainz-Wiesbaden AG (KMW).
