The successful joint development of six PV projects with the local partner Callis Zrt has a combined capacity of 280 MWp. These projects are already “Ready to Build”, meaning that all required permits have been secured, and are able to connect to the grid and commence electricity production in 2026 and 2027 respectively. Between 2023 and 2024, Uniper will conclude comprehensive preliminary studies (e.g. topography) to ensure the seamless execution of these projects.
In addition to these six projects, Uniper participates in the current grid capacity tender in Hungary. Uniper aims to secure grid connection possibilities for its projects, reinforcing its commitment to delivering clean and sustainable energy to the Hungarian market. Uniper remains committed to working closely with local communities, authorities, and stakeholders to ensure a smooth and mutually beneficial transition to renewable energy.
“We are proud to be part of Hungary’s renewable energy transition. These first projects and our involvement in the upcoming grid capacity tender mark significant milestones in our journey towards a sustainable energy future. At Uniper, we believe in the power of clean energy to create a better, more environmentally responsible world. We are excited to work hand in hand with local communities and partners to bring this vision to life.”

Uniper had announced a new strategy on August 1, 2023, and will support the necessary transformation of the energy industry through flexible, balanced and bespoke forms of energy generation. To this end, the company is transforming its own power plants and facilities and investing in flexible and secure power generation assets. In total, more than €8 billion is to be invested in growth and transformation between 2023 and 2030. This includes investments in solar and wind power plants, where significant growth is targeted.
In 2030, Uniper aims to use more than 80 percent of its installed power plant capacity for CO2-free electricity production. Uniper will end electricity production from coal by 2029 at the latest. By 2040, Uniper intends to be CO2-neutral (Scope 1-3), ten years earlier than previously planned.
