Electrolyser supplier origin in African and Middle East hydrogen projects

Company location, attributed megawatts and supply stage in a bounded project list

This note follows 16 named links between electrolyser suppliers and hydrogen projects in Africa and the Middle East. Suppliers based in Europe account for most of the entered megawatts, almost all of it at two projects, while the sources read name the factory behind a project's stacks for only one link.

About this note

This note lists 16 links between electrolyser suppliers and hydrogen projects in Africa and the Middle East, one for each supplier a source names on a project, and groups them by the country of the supplier or its parent group, with the megawatts and supply stage each source gives. It keeps that country separate from where a project's stacks are made. It takes 13 links from Enerleq's Electrolyser supply in African and Middle East hydrogen projects (R-2026-001, data cut-off 8 October 2026) and adds three found for this note (a Saudi order announced after that cut-off, and two earlier links that report did not then record, at Madikwe in South Africa and HyIron in Namibia).

In scope

  • The 13 supplier-project links in Enerleq's R-2026-001, with project, stage, megawatts and supply stage as released
  • Supplier origin, the country of the supplier's headquarters or of its parent group, as the company's own report, filing or website states it
  • The factory that makes a project's stacks, only where a source states it for that project
  • Links in Africa and the Middle East announced between 9 and 25 October 2026, and older links a bounded search found that R-2026-001 did not record

Out of scope

  • Market share. The list is a set of named links, not the market, and the note says so beside its totals
  • Any ranking, rating or quality comparison of suppliers or technologies, and any statement on which supplier will win an unnamed project
  • Prices, efficiency, durability, trade policy and tariffs
  • Suppliers' financial results and orders outside the two regions
  • Corrections to R-2026-001, which are issued as revisions of that report

Questions this report answers

  1. 01 Grouped by the country of each supplier or its parent group, how many supplier-project links and how many source-attributed megawatts sit with European, Chinese, North American and other suppliers, and at which supply stage?
  2. 02 For how many links does a source name the factory that makes the project's stacks, and how does that location compare with the supplier's headquarters?
  3. 03 Which links were announced between R-2026-001's 8 October 2026 cut-off and 25 October 2026, and which earlier links did R-2026-001 not record?

Written for strategy and business development teams at electrolyser and equipment manufacturers, project developers and governments.

Contents

How this report was made

Scope
Sixteen named supplier-project links in Africa and the Middle East, not an exhaustive market census. Company or parent/group country is separate from factory origin. The MW sum mixes supply stages and is not installed or renewable-powered capacity.
Approach
Thirteen links come from Enerleq's Electrolyser supply in African and Middle East hydrogen projects (R-2026-001, data cut-off 8 October 2026) and were not each refreshed live. A bounded English-language search added one later announcement and two older links. Company statements are attributed; source dates and partial-read limits are kept.
Conventions
A link is one supplier named by a source for one project. Supplier MW is entered separately; five rows add no single MW figure, and the HIDC unit counts within NEOM. Supply stages follow R-2026-001: delivered means shipped or installed, and a stage dates the equipment arrangement, not the project. Blank is not zero. Registered-office proxies and dated filings are identified; PERIC HQ remains unclassified. Project factory: one stated future allocation; not stated in the sources read for the other 15 links, searched in October and November 2026 among sources dated by the cut-off.
Interviews
None.

What is original

The 2 exhibits are compiled by Enerleq, row by row, from the cited sources. No table or chart is reproduced from another publication.

How it was checked

Every cited sentence and table row was checked against its source, corrections were applied, and later changes were re-checked before the principal approved this edition for release on 8 November 2026.

Use of AI

Enerleq uses AI tools to collect and organise sources and to prepare first drafts. Every factual statement is tied to a cited source, every draft is reviewed and edited by the principal, and commentary marked ENERLEQ VIEW is interpretation approved by the principal.
