Main construction works will start in the summer with the start of commercial operation within the next two years.
The project is being delivered by Green Hydrogen Energy Company (GHECO) and the 30MW green hydrogen plant will be used by Kimberly-Clark to power its factory in the town.
Dalkia will manage the total range of services from design to commissioning using modular construction and prefabrication techniques to accelerate delivery.
The firm will coordinate utilities to site and provide civils, hydrogen storage, further Mechanical and Electrical Services, fire and security, trenching and pipework.
Rob Faro, Managing Director of Dalkia Engineering, said: “Dalkia is backed by EDF which is a global leader in green energies, and we are proud to have brought our expertise into a collaborative partnership with the client to optimise delivery of one of the first hydrogen production facilities to reach Final Investment Decision in the UK.
“The development of green and renewable energies is a strategic priority for the UK, and Dalkia – and we invite any other interested stakeholders to join us in the conversation.”
The project is being constructed under the first wave of Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreements being let by the UK Government.
