State secretary for energy transition of the Energy Ministry Viktor Horvath noted that Hungary had built more than 8,000MW of solar capacity in the past 5-6 years and one-quarter of the electricity generated in the country came from renewable sources last year.
The Hungarian Electricity Works (MVM) energy group constructed it, funding 65% of it and utilizing EU subsidies to cover the remainder. Like Kapuvár Solar Park, Paks Solar Park took the title of the largest solar project in Hungary during its establishment in 2019. Annually it is capable of providing electricity for roughly 8,500 homes.
Solar power has unique potential in Hungary, where 1950 – 2150 sunny hours offer the potential for 1,200 kWh/m2 per year, greater than numerous other European nations. Other renewable energy solutions, like hydroelectric power, are less viable in the area.
There are plans to open a factory dedicated to building solar panels in Northern Hungary, representing an investment of 18.9 billion forints (nearly 6,000,000 USD). This new rapid growth can be attributed to Hungary choosing to follow in the footsteps of the European Union, which hopes to have 30+ percent renewable energy by 2030.
