Sweden-headed fuel cell technology provider PowerCell Group has announced that it has received an order from Germany-headed Zeppelin Power Systems GmbH & Co. KG, a leading provider of propulsion and energy, for the delivery of two Power Generation System 100 (PS100) units and related engineering services to Greece.
Worth SEK 4.3 million (≈ EUR 393,328), the systems will be part of an EU-funded project under the Just Transition Fund (JTF) program, which has allocated approximately EUR 20 million to support the economic transformation of Greece’s Western Macedonia region through sustainable, innovative energy solutions supporting Greece’s transition from fossil-based energy to sustainable alternatives.
The project aims to mobilize investment and support local energy resilience by combining solar power, hydrogen production, storage, and fuel-cell-based electricity generation. Deliveries will take place in 2026.
Within the former Aeval Industrial Area, the project installation includes a solar PV field, electrolyzer, battery, hydrogen storage, and a stationary 100 kW fuel cell power generator—primarily for nighttime operation and emergency power supply.
A second phase of the project involves a mobile 40 kW fuel-cell generator, designed as a rental unit to demonstrate flexible, zero-emission power generation for a wide range of off-grid applications.
Zeppelin Power Systems is a trusted partner within the power generation industry, with decades of experience in large-scale energy systems and customer integration, said Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group.
Zeppelin Power Systems will manage system integration and certification, while PowerCell provides its standardized PS100 platform, complete with factory acceptance testing (FAT) and engineering support.
For PowerCell, this collaboration brings a strong industrial partner into the hydrogen value chain—creating two real test benches for how fuel cells can serve both off-grid power and mobile applications. These are exactly the kinds of use cases with significant growth potential, yet where few OEMs have so far assumed the role of system integrator. We are pleased to see Zeppelin Power Systems take that step and help push the industry forward, Richard Berkling said.
With this order, PowerCell strengthens its position in the growing Power Generation segment, where demand for reliable, emission-free energy solutions is increasing alongside grid constraints and energy-resilience needs.
