Robbins LLP has announced the filing of a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors who acquired shares of Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG) between January 17, 2025, and November 13, 2025. The lawsuit addresses significant financial losses sustained by stockholders during this period, as the company faced issues concerning its reported loan from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Background on Plug Power’s Operations
Plug Power operates in the hydrogen fuel cell sector, providing solutions for electric mobility and stationary power across North America and Europe. The company specializes in hydrogen storage, production equipment, and the development of hydrogen infrastructure, including production plants.
On January 16, 2025, Plug Power announced it had secured a $1.66 billion loan guarantee from the DOE’s Loan Programs Office (LPO). This loan was intended to finance the construction of several projects aimed at producing zero- or low-carbon hydrogen at scale within the United States. The initial project highlighted was a green hydrogen plant located in Graham, Texas.
Allegations of Misrepresentation
The allegations in the lawsuit suggest that during the class period, Plug Power misled investors about the availability of funds from the DOE loan and the company’s capability to execute the necessary projects to access these funds. Specifically, the complaint states that the company overstated the likelihood of receiving the loan proceeds and the feasibility of constructing the hydrogen production facilities required to utilize the loan.
On November 10, 2025, Plug Power released its financial results for the quarter ending September 30, 2025. In this announcement, the company indicated that it expected to generate more than $275 million in liquidity by partnering with a major U.S. data center developer. However, they also revealed that activities related to the DOE loan program had been suspended, prompting a significant drop in the company’s stock price.
Following this announcement, Plug Power’s stock decreased by $0.09 per share, closing at $2.53 on November 11, 2025. The situation escalated when, on November 13, 2025, The Washington Examiner reported that Plug Power confirmed the suspension of its plans to construct the hydrogen facilities, jeopardizing the previously secured DOE loan. This news led to an additional decline in the stock price, dropping $0.48 per share, or 17.58%, to close at $2.25 on November 14, 2025.

Those wishing to serve as lead plaintiffs must file their papers with the court by April 3, 2026. The lead plaintiff will represent the interests of the entire class in the ongoing litigation.
