2020, Enel Green Power and NextChem have signed a memorandum of understanding to support the production of green hydrogen in the United States. The project, expected to be operational in 2023, will convert solar energy into green hydrogen to be supplied to a bio-refinery. In Carlentini, Sicily, Enel Green Power is creating the Hydrogen Lab, an infrastructure to connect startups and global players, as well as to house experiments in the field of new technologies for green hydrogen in an industrial-scale environment. The initiative is part of the NEXTHY project, an innovation platform to accelerate the development of new technologies to produce, store and move green hydrogen on an industrial scale. The aim of the project is to make this sector competitive within the next 5 years. Geothermal Enel Green Power runs 35 geothermal power plants in Tuscany, with a total capacity of about 765,4 MW, that are able meet more than 30% of the regional consumption. Amongst those, the plant of Larderello, built in 1904, is one of the largest in the world. In the United States Enel Green Power operates five power plants, one of which is a solar-geothermal hybrid. Two of them are located in Churchill County, Nevada, and one is near Cove Fort, Utah. In Chile Enel Green Power is finalizing the "Cerro Pabellón", the first geothermal power plant in South America. It is located at 4,500 meters above sea level. Solar-geothermal hybrid Enel Green Power has designed and built the first solar-geothermal hybrid plant, that combines the two sources of energy thus increasing the electricity production capacity. The first power plant of this kind, the Stillwater site, is located in Fallon, Nevada (USA), and has received $40 million in tax relief under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In the first half of 2014 work began to integrate a solar thermal power plant to the structure: today Stillwater has a current net capacity of 86,6 MW. In the second half of 2014, Enel Green Power has partnered with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), under the supervision of the US Department of Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO), via a cooperative research and development agreement, in order to use the data of the Stillwater plant to further develop the technology. Solar thermal and concentrated solar power The company also operates in the solar thermal and concentrated solar power (CSP), participating in
