HFI Energy Systems plans to develop a 500 MW green hydrogen energy park in Whitehall, Montana.
The project will utilize advanced wind turbine and battery storage technologies, along with green hydrogen production, affirming a shift towards a sustainable, technology-driven energy future.
The energy park, in collaboration with Barrick Gold Corporation and Jefferson Local Development Corporation (JLDC), will integrate next-generation wind turbines, green hydrogen electrolysis, and a large-scale battery storage system. HFI’s turbines feature a patented design that increases energy output, lessens visual impact, and ensures environmental compatibility. Notably, the turbines use a Smart Hydraulic Drive to efficiently produce direct current (DC) electricity.
The park will also produce up to 300 metric tons of green hydrogen daily using wastewater. This revolutionary process results in clean hydrogen for various industrial applications, with water as the sole byproduct. The integration of a 500 MW Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) will enhance energy efficiency and reliability, enabling stable energy supply even during intermittent wind conditions.
HFI plans to establish manufacturing facilities within the park, making Whitehall a center for renewable energy innovation. Manufacturing turbines and electrolyzers on-site will support local jobs and boost the regional economy.
The park’s ability to offer low-cost, carbon-free electricity is expected to attract energy-intensive industries such as AI data centers. These centers drive economic development, foster an innovation ecosystem, and emphasize sustainability alignments.
