AFC Energy PLC (AIM:AFC, OTC:AFGYF) has announced the successful delivery and operation of its highest-rated power generator to date - the 200kW H-Power system, part of the company's new S+ Series.
This generator represents AFC's entry into the high-power class of hydrogen fuel cell power plants, building on its presence in the light- to medium-duty generator sector, which includes generators rated below 50kW.
Chief executive Adam Bond hailed the achievement as a "significant milestone" after two years of accelerated technology development and engineering work.
"AFC Energy now is uniquely placed to offer its customers and partners the full range of power solutions from 10kW through to 500kW across its H-Power platforms giving maximum choice when sizing generators for specific power needs," Bond added.
The S+ Series is designed to achieve peak system efficiency, offering one of the lowest hydrogen fuel consumption rates in its class.
It also positions AFC to cater to high-power applications such as electric vehicle (EV) charging, construction, maritime operations, and data centres.
The 200kW generator is currently undergoing in-house operational testing, a precursor to obtaining Attestation of Conformity and CE marking certification, which is expected later this year.
These sign-offs are crucial for verifying that the product meets the essential health, safety, and environmental protection requirements for products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA).
CEO Bond told investors: "We continue to progress our drive to offer a commercially and technically viable alternative off-grid power solution to diesel and we are now positioned to access higher power class opportunities not previously available with the S Series Generator series. Congratulations to the entire team for the long hours committed in delivering the S+ Series Generator."
