A new power plant is built on the site of the old one in Tiszaújváros. The combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant with 1,000 megawatt (MW) capacity will serve both Hungary’s energy security and the economic development of the region, said Gábor Czepek, Deputy Minister of Energy of Hungary.
The result of the conditional public procurement procedure for the construction of the power plant has just been announced: the international consortium Calik Enerji Swiss and Ansaldo Energia will be awarded the contract for the construction of the plant at the Tiszaújváros site of MVM Tisza Erőmű Kft in Northern Hungary.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that solar energy must be stored or supplemented by a power plant with predictable production, and that it is therefore crucial that a gas-fired power plant can be started up in Tiszaújváros in addition to the gas-fired plant in Visonta, in the Mátra region. Csaba Lantos, Minister of Energy announced in January the winner of the tender CCGT power plants to be built at t the site of Mátra Power Plant.
