The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, when his department plans to publish the funding outcomes for the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 project.

Answered by Michael Shanks

In April 2025 we shortlisted 27 projects to remain in the Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2) process. We have now finished due diligence and cost assurance on these projects.

Projects which pass will enter an Invite to Offer stage where we will award contracts to successful projects.

We hope to move into this stage soon and aim to award contracts in 2026.
