The locally produced renewable energy can supply up to 92,000 households. Construction of the 90 MWp Tét project is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025, with operations starting in 2027, while the 61 MWp Dunaföldvár project will commence earlier in the second quarter of 2025 and aims to connect to the grid by 2026.

EXTOR Energy Zrt. has been awarded the contract to build the PV plants in Dunaföldvár and Tét. Spie Hungaria Kft. will handle the grid connection in Dunaföldvár, while Maxicontech Kft. will manage it in Tét.

By harnessing solar power in Hungary, Uniper is not only supporting the country’s sustainability objectives but also helping to accelerate the energy transition across the region.

Uniper is committed to expanding its renewable portfolio across Europe, with a current focus on Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, and Poland. Next to Tét and Dunaföldvár, Uniper has started the construction phase of several solar parks in Germany and the UK. The goal is to develop up to 10 gigawatts of capacity ready-to-build by 2030.
