Pécs Solar Park
The installation is located in the Baranya County in south-western Hungary near Pécs -Tüskésrét. The investment cost for the Pécs solar park amounts to some 4.2 billion Hungarian forint.
Hungary has made significant progress in the expansion of solar energy in recent years, both in the area of private solar installations and in the construction of large industrial solar power plants.
Despite the dynamic growth, there are some challenges in Hungary that could make the further expansion of solar energy difficult. One of the biggest hurdles is network capacity. Network bottlenecks and limited connection options mean that many planned large-scale projects cannot currently be connected.
Hungary's solar capacity is on course to exceed 8 GW by mid-2025, thanks to extensive large-scale solar projects and increased residential installations. With ongoing regulatory support and financial incentives, the country is well-positioned to achieve its renewable energy targets and significantly reduce its carbon footprint.
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.
