Photon Energy adds three solar plants in Hungary

Green Forum
Photon Energy has expanded its solar portfolio in Hungary by commissioning three new solar parks operating under a merchant model.

Their activation has increased Photon Energy's operational photovoltaic (PV) capacity in Hungary to 57.5 MWp, while its global independent power producer (IPP) portfolio now stands at 134.7 MWp.

The three solar parks, named Tolna 2, Tolna 3, and Tolna 5, are situated in Tolna County, central Hungary, and are expected to generate approximately 6.3 GWh annually. Equipped with bifacial monocrystalline modules, they are already supplying electricity to the grid managed by E.ON Del-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt.

Photon Energy highlighted that the close positioning of the sites will enable valuable data collection, allowing the company to assess investment and operational costs while evaluating the production profiles of the assets in the electricity market.
