Green Hydrogen Hub · Veltheim / Porta Westfalica · NRW
ACRION.ENERGY is building a scalable infrastructure platform for power, hydrogen, heat and industrial land.
The Veltheim site combines existing power plant and grid infrastructure with modular electrolysis, H₂-ready turbine operation, waste heat utilisation and a clear holding/SPV structure for investors, banks and funding bodies.
01 · Project platform
From former power plant site to integrated energy hub.
ACRION.ENERGY positions Veltheim as an industrial infrastructure site. The project approach uses existing technical substance, adds new H₂ production capacity and creates a robust model for security of supply, decarbonisation and grid-supporting services.
The platform is deliberately modular: each investment measure can be developed, financed and monitored separately from a technical, commercial and corporate law perspective.
ACRION.TECH POWER
Reactivation and H₂-ready conversion of existing turbine capacity for flexibility, reserve capacity, peak load and security of supply.
ACRION.TECH H₂
Modular electrolysis in 75 MW steps for green hydrogen production for internal use, industry, mobility and offtake models.
ACRION.TECH HEAT
Waste heat utilisation, district heating connection, heat recovery and site heat to improve overall economics.
ACRION.TECH PROJECTS 360
Project control, planning, monitoring, documentation, technical implementation and operational preparation of individual measures.
02 · Investment Case
Investable infrastructure rather than a single project.
The economic logic combines existing infrastructure with new energy assets. Project value is created through several revenue pathways and not solely through external hydrogen sales.
- Existing infrastructure reduces development risk compared with a pure greenfield project.
- The SPV structure enables targeted financing for each turbine, electrolysis module, heat pathway or site measure.
- Hydrogen can be sold, used internally or deployed as part of the power and flexibility strategy.
- Power SPVs address electricity markets, reserve, standby, peak load and grid-supporting commercialisation.
- Public funding, project finance, secured instruments and participation capital can be combined.
03 · Revenue model
Multiple income streams per project component.
POWER
Flexibility, reserve, standby, peak load and electricity market revenues from H₂-ready turbine capacity.
H₂
Hydrogen production for internal use, industrial customers, mobility and potential long-term offtake agreements.
HEAT
Waste heat, district heating, site supply and efficiency contributions as an additional revenue pathway.
SITE
Use, leasing and development of halls, workshops, land and utility infrastructure.
04 · Technology and infrastructure
Technical concept with clear due diligence paths.
Grid support
Flexible power capacity to stabilise the electricity system, respond to market price signals and support security of supply.
H₂-ready conversion
Stepwise technical assessment of turbine, fuel path, controls, safety systems, permitting and operating strategy.
Electrolysis
75 MW modules as a standardised expansion platform with separate CAPEX/OPEX, funding and project finance logic.
Waste heat
Integration of heat extraction, recovery and potential district heating connection to increase system efficiency.
05 · Roadmap
Preliminary implementation roadmap with milestones.
- 2026Structuring & due diligence: holding/SPV structure, first technical assessment, financing, funding, permitting and grid clarification.
- Q1 2027Power 01: reactivation path for the existing turbine, H₂-ready concept, grid and operating strategy.
- Q2 2027H₂/01: start of the first 75 MW electrolysis module as industrial production base.
- 2028–2030Modular scale-up: semi-annual expansion of further H₂ modules, additional power units and heat pathways.
- from 2030Industrialisation: site integration, long-term offtake, flexibility, heat and financing partnerships.
06 · Holding / SPV structure
ACRION.ENERGY holding structure
The structure separates strategy, project control, power generation, hydrogen production, heat utilisation and site infrastructure. This enables investments, risks, revenues, public funding and collateral to be allocated transparently to each project component.
ACRION.ENERGY Holding
Central level for strategy, brand governance, participation logic, capital structure, investor communication, funding coordination and governance.
- Bundling of shareholdings in ACRION.TECH project companies
- Investor relations, financing, reporting and controlling
- Brand, know-how, technical standards and project governance
ACRION.TECH PROJECTS 360 GmbH
Technical project support, planning, monitoring, documentation, procurement, quality assurance and delivery of energy, lighting, emergency lighting and infrastructure measures.
ACRION.TECH POWER 01 / 02 / 03 GmbH
One project company per turbine. Purpose: reactivation, H₂-ready conversion, flexible capacity, reserve/standby capacity, peak load and grid-supporting commercialisation.
ACRION.TECH H₂/01 · H₂/02 · H₂/03
One separate company per 75 MW electrolysis module. Purpose: green H₂ production, internal supply of power units, industrial customers, mobility and industrial scale-up.
ACRION.TECH HEAT GmbH
Company for waste heat utilisation, district heating connection, heat recovery, site heat and efficiency measures.
Site and infrastructure pathway
Buildings, halls, workshops, grid/media infrastructure, water, fibre, site development and potential leasing are documented separately.
Bank, funding and investor level
Financing can be structured per SPV via equity, shareholder loans, development loans, grants, project finance or secured infrastructure instruments.
Why this structure?
- Clear separation of technical, financial and permitting risks by project company.
- Targeted financing for each turbine, electrolysis module, heat pathway or infrastructure measure.
- Improved allocation of CAPEX, OPEX, revenues, funding, collateral and reporting obligations.
- Investors can participate in individual building blocks or at holding level.
Revenue and collateral logic
- Power SPVs: flexibility, reserve, peak load and electricity market revenues.
- H₂ SPVs: hydrogen production, internal H₂ use and potential offtake agreements.
- Heat SPV: waste heat, district heating, site supply and efficiency contributions.
- Site pathway: land, halls, technical assets, rights and infrastructure as potential collateral.
