Tenders for Green H₂ Power Plants
1. Context and Drivers
The accelerated phase-out of coal and the rising share of intermittent renewable energy sources have increased the need for reliable and flexible capacity in Germany and across Europe. Ensuring security of supply, particularly during prolonged periods of low generation, has become a growing priority.
In this context, the German Federal Government is planning to implement a national power plant strategy. The aim is to encourage the construction of new H₂-ready, hydrogen-based and modern gas-fired power plants through targeted investment incentives. These plants are expected to provide dispatchable capacity that can contribute to long-term security of electricity supply.
A central component of this strategy is the introduction of competitive tender mechanisms. These are designed to secure supply while also promoting efficiency, decarbonisation and system integration. At the same time, capacity markets across Europe are gaining significance. Countries such as Belgium, Poland and Italy illustrate how market-based designs can play a key role in delivering secure capacity.
