Hungarian bioelectricity plant set for operations
A new HUF 14 billion (€52 million) bioelectricity plant in Szakoly, eastern Hungary, is set to be operating commercially by September 2009.
The Hungarian Energy minister announced that plant workers are currently conducting a trial run, which, assuming there are no unforeseen difficulties, should be completed by the end of August.
The plant will burn 170,000–180,000 locally produced biomass each year to generate 20MW electricity. The waste heat will be captured and used locally for horticulture.
The majority owner is Szakoly-based Liget Kft., with co-owners Tohoku Electric Power Company, Japan’s largest electricity provider, and EGI, one of the major engineering companies in Hungary’s energy sector.
This is the first Hungarian greenfield investment in a biomass plant.
