  • Plug Power slips as Australia hydrogen hub order spotlights green fuel subsidy
    July 7, 2026, 11:06 AM EDT. Plug Power Inc. shares dropped 0.9% after it won a 50 MW electrolyzer deal for Australia's Hunter Valley Hydrogen Hub. The project, which will get AU$432 million in subsidies over a decade, works out to about AU$9.19 per kilogram of hydrogen. Aiming for 4,700 tonnes of renewable hydrogen a year, the hub is set to help Orica Ltd cut natural gas use by 7.5%. The public subsidy shows how the green hydrogen market still leans on government funding, even with rising electrolyzer orders. Plug trades at a $3.63 billion market cap, while broad clean energy ETFs like iShares Global Clean Energy and Invesco QQQ Trust also traded lower.
