MVM Zöld Generáció to Build Hungary's First Hybrid Geothermal Power Plant in Zsana

MVM Zöld Generáció, a subsidiary of MVM Group, will construct Hungary's first hybrid geothermal power plant near Zsana. The facility will drill to 2,400-2,500 meters to access thermal water at 140-150 degrees Celsius, with an expected capacity of 3.5-4.5 MW. Currently, only 10% of Hungary's district heating utilizes geothermal energy, and the project aims to enhance renewable energy use and energy sovereignty in Hungary.

Currently, geothermal energy heats 10% of Hungary's 674,000 district-heated homes, but electricity generation from geothermal is limited. This project aims to increase renewable energy sources, complementing existing nuclear strategies and enhancing energy sovereignty. The hybrid system will not only generate electricity but also utilize thermal energy, operating as a closed-loop system by reinjecting thermal water post-use.
