Photon Energy's Hungarian subsidiary has completed and commissioned a 658 kW solar power plant for Clarion Hungary, a subsidiary of Forvia. This 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) marks a significant step towards renewable energy adoption in the automotive industry.
The new solar plant, located in Nagykáta, Hungary, will generate approximately 14.1 GWh of clean electricity annually. This is expected to cover over 20% of Clarion Hungary's annual electricity consumption and reduce CO2 emissions by an estimated 3,620 tons.
Georg Hotar, CEO of Photon Energy Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the project: "We are proud to partner with Forvia in their sustainability journey. This project showcases our commitment to providing innovative, clean energy solutions for the industrial sector."
Clarion Hungary's solar project is part of Forvia's broader global initiative to reduce its carbon footprint. The company, in collaboration with Engie Impact, is implementing solar PV solutions across 14 countries to avoid 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually.
Photon Energy's expertise in solar development, construction, and operation has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. The company continues to expand its presence in Hungary and contribute to the country's renewable energy goals.
