The presentation point out success factors in EPC business, drawing on experiences and lessons learned from recent hydrogen projects. The objective of the lessons learned is to ensure the successful construction and commissioning of an electrolysis plant.
Critical factors include clear scope definition, selection of suitable and reliable suppliers, clarity in the contract structure, technical maturity and interface management and safety, compliance and permitting in a regulated market. Lessons learned emphasise the importance of modular reference designs, standardised interfaces, robust commissioning plans and early risk allocation, especially for electrolysis plants.
The results provide practical recommendations for EPC companies that build electrolysis plants: flexible, adaptable contract models, mature procurement strategies, a strong safety-first concept, and a structured approach from module delivery to final acceptance.
