Hungary: Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Ltd. has completed a major step towards sustainability with the commissioning of a 2 MVA solar power plant and a 5.2 MWh hybrid energy storage system at its Tápiószele facility in Hungary. This project is part of the company’s broader energy efficiency initiative, which is set to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40 %.

The new energy storage system combines lithium-ion and NAS battery technologies to optimize energy management, allowing the plant to store solar energy and utilize it more effectively. The solar system is expected to produce 2,830 MWh annually, covering a significant portion of the factory’s electricity needs, which are around 3,500 – 3,600 MWh per year.

Ganz is also working towards reducing its reliance on fossil fuels, with plans to cut fossil fuel consumption by 30 % by 2030 and phase it out completely by 2050.

Gergely Gál, CEO of Ganz, emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, both in its operations and product offerings. The company continues to set industry standards with its energy-efficient solutions and green energy practices.

Forest-Vill Ltd. led the installation of the solar and storage systems, marking a significant milestone in Hungary’s energy transition. This development further strengthens Ganz’s role in advancing sustainable energy in industrial manufacturing.
