The project “Szügy” with a capacity of 65.2 MWp is already under construction and is expected to start its operations in October 2022. The park benefits from a government guaranteed Feed-in-tariff (FIT) over 25 years starting at operations.
The solar park will be built with 121,000 photovoltaic modules, which will produce enough energy to meet the electricity demand of around 22,500 homes approx. 78,820 MWh. In addition, 24,750 tonnes of CO2 will be saved from emission into the atmosphere, which is the equivalent to the consumption of 140 million kilometres driven in a car. The project helps Hungary to become more independent from fossil fuels like coal, gas and nuclear energy, that is still the major source of Hungary’s electricity generation.
Project “Szügy“ is so far Greencells‘ largest investment in the Hungarian photovoltaic market with more projects to come in the future. Andreas Hoffmann, Greencells CEO stated: „Hungary, like many other Eastern and Central European countries, has rapidly developed into a highly attractive market for solar energy. Greencells is already the market leader by installed capacity in Hungary and will continue to expand its position there. In Hungary as well, solar energy has become the most cost-efficient form of environmentally friendly energy generation and is highly economically viable independent of government subsidies.“
Torsten Heidemann, Head of Infrastructure & Energy, points out: “Project “Szügy“ is also the first investment in Hungary for the Berenberg funds marking another successful entry into a new country.” And Olaf Lüdemann, Head of Energy Advisory of Berenberg said, “We are proud to support Greencells in the execution of the project Szügy and look forward to finance future Greencells projects to come. Greencells with its longstanding history is very well positioned to successfully execute international utility-scale projects.”
