Hydrogen Park Adelaide (HyP Adelaide)
HyP Adelaide is a proposed 60-megawatt renewable hydrogen production facility that would be located at SA Water’s Bolivar wastewater treatment plant. The facility would produce about one petajoule of renewable hydrogen per annum, most of which would be injected directly into Adelaide’s gas distribution network, supplying up to 450,000 customers with up to a 20% hydrogen blend by volume. AGIG’s gas distribution network requires no further network infrastructure upgrades to enable delivery of this renewable hydrogen blend.
HyP Adelaide is in development phase and is targeting a final investment decision in March 2026. Terms are being discussed with SA Water for the land, Zen Energy for the supply of renewable electricity and Iberdrola for the direct supply of hydrogen to Bolivar Power Station, thereby contributing to the further decarbonisation of South Australia’s electricity supply. HyP Adelaide would deliver large scale decarbonisation of South Australia’s gas supply and enable existing and new industrial customers to reduce their scope 1 emissions from gas usage by acquiring renewable gas certificates generated from the project.
The design of the facility has been agreed with our preferred electrolyser vendor LONGi and engineering and design for the facility is being finalised. Options for grid connection for power supply to the Project are well advanced with SA Power Networks (SAPN) and discussions are well progressed with the SA Department of Energy and Mines (DEM) to develop policy support mechanisms that would improve the economics of the Project. Similarly, discussions are progressing with industrial customers for sale and purchase of hydrogen, and AGIG and partners are developing a business case for large scale deployment of hydrogen buses.
The HyP Adelaide Project would support many of the State and federal ambitions for the hydrogen sector, including facilitating the growth of emerging industries, enabling renewable hydrogen to decarbonise the industrial, power generation and transport sectors, while enhancing energy security and resilience in South Australia.

Project status update
-Project dependencies
Eligibility for the Federal Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive and other key policy enablers to take positive FID in early 2026.
Technology utilised
The project plans to deploy alkaline electrolysis technology, which is recognised for its advanced stage of technological maturity. AGIG has collaborated closely with its preferred technology partner, LONGi, to design a cost-optimised facility layout. This design leverages insights gained from AGIG’s existing projects and benefits from economies of scale achievable with the planned 60-megawatt capacity of HyP Adelaide.

Project highlights
- HyP Adelaide would enable industrial gas users to decarbonise through either direct hydrogen supply or renewable gas certificates (RGGOs), supporting industrial gas users as they transition to low-carbon operations.
- Based upon the assumptions in our financial modelling (including the impact of supportive policies), the 60-megawatt facility would be capable of delivering competitively priced renewable hydrogen using proven electrolysis technology supplied with low-cost renewable power, ensuring dependable supply for industrial customers, power generators, and transport operators.
- Positioned near key infrastructure and end users, HyP Adelaide would support decarbonisation across power generation, various industrial applications, and public transport while fostering local jobs, skills development, and alignment with government hydrogen strategies.
