CMC Kaposvar 100MW Solar PV Plant

Problem and implemented solution

The Kaposvár 100MW Photovoltaic Power Station project, initiated by China National Machinery Import & Export Corporation (CMC), is the company's first photovoltaic power station project and the first renewable energy investment in Europe. The project was acquired through the purchase of the controlling company Dunántúli Energia Holding Kft. and its three subsidiary project companies. It was developed using an integrated "investment-construction-operation" model, with CMC holding a 40% stake. Construction of the project began in July 2019 and was completed by December 2020, with operations commencing in January 2021. The power station comprises two 49.28MW solar farms and an associated 132kV step-up substation. The project's design met European standards and got approved by local regulatory authorities. This project stands as one of the largest solar power plants under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative in Hungary. The solar PV system produces an average 150GWh of electricity per year, which can cover the annual electricity needs of more than 35000 households, in addition to reducing the country's carbon dioxide emissions by about 140,000 tons per year. It makes a major contribution to energy independence and the green transition, facilitating a sustainable development for the country as a whole.
