Abstract:	The cost of green hydrogen production is significantly sensitive to the cost of renewable energy powering the electrolyzers. Thus, optimizing the renewable energy configurations is key in driving down the cost of green hydrogen production, rendering it competitive in the energy market. This study aims to assess the regional variation in solar and wind tariffs and their effect on the cost of green hydrogen production. A solar and wind tariff analysis is performed on seven Indian states – Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha –to understand the relationship between electricity procurement cost and the cost of green hydrogen production. The Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) across all seven states is compared using the available data. The study aims to provide key insights for energy policy and supply chain optimization. The potential of hybrid solar-wind power plants and the possibility of determining the optimal ratio of solar and wind are also explored to make the hydrogen production process economically viable.
