The Celtic Freeport has welcomed MorGen Energy's decision to approve the final investment decision (FID) for a green hydrogen production facility in the Milford Haven Tax Site.
The West Wales Hydrogen project is among the first supported by the UK Government’s flagship Hydrogen Allocation Round (HAR1) to reach this milestone.
With construction expected to begin in 2026 and commissioning planned for early 2028, the plant will produce around 2,000 tonnes of low carbon hydrogen each year in line with the UK’s Low Carbon Hydrogen Standard.
The hydrogen will support various applications, including port decarbonisation, industrial heating, manufacturing and use as a chemical feedstock.
The project is expected to create skilled jobs and provide opportunities for local contractors during construction.
The facility has the potential to expand in future phases as demand grows, helping to establish Milford Haven as a key hydrogen hub supporting industrial decarbonisation across South Wales.
Luciana Ciubotariu, CEO of Celtic Freeport, said:
“MorGen Energy’s decision is another major step forward for the hydrogen economy in South West Wales.
“Projects like this within the Milford Haven Tax Site show how the Celtic Freeport is accelerating decarbonisation while creating high-value jobs.”
HAR1 provides revenue support to help scale up the UK’s low carbon hydrogen sector and bring early projects to market.
