New Gas Power Plant to be Constructed in Hungary's Matra Region
The Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority has approved the construction of a combined cycle gas power plant, marking the first new base load power facility in over fifteen years.
The construction of a new gas power plant has been announced in the Matra region of Hungary, following the receipt of a construction permit from the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH).
The planned combined cycle gas power block in Visonta will represent a new base load power source for the nation.
With the completion of the final administrative requirements, construction is set to commence imminently.
This initiative comes as Hungary's first new electricity-generating base load facility in over fifteen years, aimed at enhancing energy security and sovereignty in the region.
The Ministry of Energy has indicated that the establishment of three new blocks in Eastern Hungary, including the one in Matra, will play a significant role in ensuring a reliable electricity supply and preserving local jobs in the area.
The new gas power plant will be developed as a brownfield investment by the MVM Group, leveraging advantageous local conditions and existing utility connections.
It is expected that by 2028, the facility will add 650 megawatts of flexible, dispatchable capacity to the energy mix, facilitating the integration of new green energy producers into a balanced system.
Further developments are underway at MVM Group, which recently inaugurated a new gas turbine at the North Buda Heating Power Plant.
