"To ensure that ITM Power's customers continue to enjoy the benefits of low cost and low carbon energy well into the future, Optimal will provide nationwide service and support through its network of factory certified ASP's (Authorised Service Personnel).

"The agreement enhances ITM Power's capability for project delivery and service of its systems and will support the company as it pursues much larger multi megawatt systems across Australia.

"In addition, ITM Power has received a purchase order from Optimal for the provision of its 0.7MW HGas electrolyser system for use in a hydrogen microgrid project in Tasmania supported by the Federal Government's Blue Economy CRC programme. This first deployment with Optimal will be a platform for training (through ITM Power's Hydrogen Academy) and the development of the relationship between ITM Power and Optimal."

Dr Neil Thompson, Managing Director of ITM Power, said: "Our agreement with Optimal further enhances our project delivery capability, after-sales service and spare parts support across Australia which will be key to the deployment of industrial scale systems."
