A cooled-hydrogen supply station of the present invention includes: a first coolant passage through which a first coolant circulates; a water-cooled refrigerator unit disposed on a part of the first coolant passage to enable cooling of the first coolant; a second coolant passage through which a second coolant flows; a first heat exchanger enabling cooling of the second coolant by the firs coolant, between another part of the first coolant passage and a part of the second coolant passage; a hydrogen storage unit in which hydrogen is stored; a hydrogen passage through which the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage unit is transported; and a second heat exchanger enabling cooling of the hydrogen by the second coolant, between another part of the second coolant passage and a part of the hydrogen passage. The hydrogen is cooled down to a temperature range of between -43°C and -20°C by the second heat exchanger, and a hydrogen cooling power for cooling hydrogen to -40°C is between 13.5 kW and 16.5 kW.
