Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ:PLUG) shares are down during Thursday’s premarket session. The company won a significant contract to supply a 275 MW GenEco PEM electrolyzer system for Hy2gen Canada’s “Courant” project. This news comes as broader markets experienced a decline, adding pressure to the stock’s performance. Details Plug Power has secured a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for one of the largest electrolyzer projects to date. The project aims to support the production of low-carbon ammonia, leveraging Canada’s low-carbon hydroelectric resources. Noatbly, Hy2gen is developing the Courant project as one of North America's largest low-carbon ammonium nitrate facilities, serving the mining industry in Québec, Central and Eastern Canada, and beyond. Plug is providing advanced engineering and system design to integrate electrolyzers, optimize plant configuration, and enhance performance. Its PEM electrolyzer technology offers high reliability, efficiency, and operational flexibility. The hydrogen plant will produce low-carbon ammonia using electricity from the Hydro-Québec grid, which will then be converted into renewable ammonium nitrate for mining industry explosives.
