Can Solid Electrolyzer Demand Drive Plug Power's Q3 Sales?

Plug Power Inc. PLUG has been benefiting from robust demand for the electrolyzer product line. In the second quarter of 2025, revenues from the electrolyzer product line surged approximately 200% on a year-over-year basis, constituting 26% of PLUG’s total business. This uptick was driven by higher shipment volumes and new orders from customers in both North America and Europe.

Demand for the company’s GenEco proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers continues to increase across global industrial and energy applications. This momentum is supported by favorable policy support in Europe, where government funding and faster permitting are helping accelerate green hydrogen deployment.

Also, in October 2025, Plug Power signed a deal with Allied Biofuels to deliver a maximum of 2 GW of GenEco PEM electrolyzer systems. This takes its total contracted electrolyzer capacity with Allied partners to 5 GW. In the same month, the company delivered a 10-megawatt (MW) GenEco electrolyzer to Galp’s Portugal-based Sines Refinery, which is Europe’s largest PEM hydrogen project. It plans to deploy a total of 10 GenEco electrolyzer arrays with Hydrogen Processing Units at the site by early 2026.

Also, in June 2025, PLUG expanded its partnership with Allied Green Ammonia with a new two-gigawatt electrolyzer project in Uzbekistan. This builds on their existing three-gigawatt partnership in Australia and supports Plug Power’s growing presence in large-scale hydrogen solutions.

Overall, rising electrolyzer demand positions Plug Power well for stronger revenue growth in the third quarter of 2025. This momentum is expected to continue supporting the company’s growth trajectory going forward.

Flux Power continues to expand its lithium-ion energy storage solutions and SkyEMS software platform.

In the third quarter of 2025, another PLUG peer, Bloom Energy Corporation’s BE product and service revenues rose 55.7% year over year. Bloom Energy’s total revenues surged 57.1% year over year.
