Description: PLUG Plug Power November 10, 2025
Plug Power (NASDAQ: PLUG) designs, manufactures, and sells hydrogen-fuel-cell systems for material-handling vehicles (GenDrive), stationary power (GenSure), and integrated turnkey solutions (GenKey), complemented by hydrogen infrastructure products such as GenFuel storage/dispensing units, electrolyzers, and cryogenic equipment. The company serves customers across North America, Europe, and Asia through direct sales, OEM partnerships, and dealer networks, and it has been operating since 1997 from its Latham, NY headquarters.
Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue reached $1.0 billion, up ~30 % YoY, driven by a 45 % increase in GenDrive shipments and a growing backlog of GenSure contracts in the telecom and utility sectors. The hydrogen market is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~9 % through 2030, with green-hydrogen policy incentives in the EU and U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) expected to boost demand for electrolyzers and liquid-hydrogen logistics-core growth levers for Plug Power.
