Commercial power-to-gas facilities are in operation in Germany, but large scale investments make little sense right now. The money is better spend in increasing the supply of renewable energy, or electrifying things that currently burn fossil fuels. Days where we have too much renewable energy are very rare still. It would be a waste to turn it into Hydrogen.

Source? I'm only aware of pilot programs in Japan and Germany, not commercial operators.

Interesting. Though the lack of any cost estimate for this 1 MW facility does not inspire confidence.
