Futureal Energy launches international expansion under new brand

Green Forum
Futureal Group's energy division has entered international markets under the newly established brand Futureal Energy Partners. The move marks a significant step in the company's strategy to broaden its presence in renewable energy investment and electricity trading across Europe.

The international expansion will be led by Daniel Szentirmai, who joins as CEO and Partner. Strategic oversight of the company's Hungarian operations will remain with Márk Balástyai, CEO of the domestic branch.

Co-founded by Futureal Group's founder Gábor Futó and Daniel Szentirmai, Futureal Energy Partners will focus on supporting renewable energy developers and contributing to Europe's transition toward carbon neutrality. The company plans to invest in onshore wind, solar energy, and energy storage projects across the continent.

Szentirmai brings more than a decade of international experience in energy finance. Prior to joining Futureal, he co-founded Renewable Power Capital, where he helped build a renewable energy portfolio spanning six countries. Earlier, he held a leadership role at GE Energy Financial Services, managing energy project transactions worth several billion euros globally.

“Futureal Energy Partners is a purpose-driven investor focused on the energy transition,” said Szentirmai. “We are building on Futureal's strengths in real estate and investment to support renewable energy developers with projects that make a real impact on Europe's net-zero ambitions.”

Gábor Futó added: “With Daniel leading our international energy platform, Futureal Energy Partners will strengthen our role in supporting the energy transition. This is not only a business opportunity but a responsibility, both in Hungary and abroad.”
