First Public Hydrogen Authority

The First Public Hydrogen Authority (FPH2) is the United States’ 1st public hydrogen utility, designed to connect hydrogen producers with end-users through a transparent, cost-effective model. As a Joint Powers Authority (JPA), FPH2 facilitates the procurement, delivery, and development of hydrogen infrastructure, helping municipalities, transit agencies, and private companies transition to clean energy. By aggregating demand and fostering strategic partnerships, FPH2 makes hydrogen adoption easier and more affordable. Inspired by the success of the City of Lancaster’s creation of Lancaster Energy, a Community Choice Aggregator over a decade ago, FPH2 builds on a proven model for public-sector leadership in clean energy. Lancaster Energy demonstrated that a local government could drive market change, and that same vision is now being applied to hydrogen. Governed by a board of directors and independent of federal funding, the authority provides affordable and scalable hydrogen solutions. The FPH2 team is dedicated and ready to support cities in navigating their next steps in the clean hydrogen journey.
