Pacific Energy acquires Australia’s first public hydrogen refueling station

Located in the south of the nation’s capital, the site was officially launched in 2021 and marks the first investment in hydrogen infrastructure for the company.

Pacific Energy acquires the Canberra Hydrogen Refueling Facility from ActewAGL, Australia’s first publicly available hydrogen refueling station.

Located in Fyshwick in the south of the nation’s capital, the facility officially launched in 2021 and marks the company’s first investment in hydrogen infrastructure. As such, this complements its portfolio of owned and operated energy assets, underpinning its strategy to develop the mobility ecosystem.

Originally designed and built by the firm’s subsidiary, ENGV, the facility has kick-started Canberra’s hydrogen mobility journey, serving a growing fleet of hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

“Combined with our commitment to support the ACT Government to decarbonise its transport sector, we look forward to supporting local organizations refuel their vehicles while considering new opportunities to grow the Territory’s FCEV fleet options,” said Jamie Cullen, CEO of Pacific Energy.

The ACT Government, the largest FCEV fleet operator, will continue to access and utilize the station through an extended fleet lease provided by Hyundai.

Pacific Energy will continue to make available the station for refueling of cars as part of its commitment to grow the ACT green hydrogen ecosystem.
