Hyppo Secures Ynni Cymru Smart Local Energy System Funding

Hyppo Hydrogen Solutions is delighted to announce that it has successfully secured funding through Ynni Cymru’s Smart Local Energy System (SLES) programme, supporting the continued development of one of Wales’ most innovative integrated energy demonstrators at H2Bay.

The funding will accelerate the deployment of technologies that bring together renewable electricity generation, battery storage, hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging, intelligent energy management and low-carbon heating into a single coordinated energy system.

Rather than viewing electricity and hydrogen as competing technologies, the H2Bay project demonstrates how both can work together to maximise renewable energy, reduce grid constraints and provide clean energy for transport, buildings and industry.

The project will also showcase how locally generated renewable energy can be converted into green hydrogen when electricity production exceeds demand, creating long-term energy storage that can be used whenever required.

Through collaboration with industry, academia and public sector partners, Hyppo aims to demonstrate practical pathways towards net zero while providing a real-world facility where organisations can experience the technologies operating together.

The Ynni Cymru funding represents another important milestone in Hyppo’s mission to develop practical, commercially viable energy systems that can be replicated across communities throughout Wales and beyond.
