MET Group's AI-Assisted Solar Farm Expansion in Hungary
Switzerland-based MET Group is constructing a 23-MWp solar farm in eastern Hungary, with over 33,000 solar panels covering nearly 32 hectares. This project, known as Kaba 2, is the company's seventh photovoltaic project and is set to begin commercial operations in the second half of 2024. The construction process will be supported by AI technology, which will analyze visual data from drones to ensure compliance with design execution and timelines, as well as to enhance efficiency.In addition to the Kaba 2 project, MET Group recently completed its first solar park in Spain and Hungary's largest solar power plant in Mezőcsát. The Mezőcsát plant covers 440 hectares, consists of 466,000 solar panels, and can produce 372 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually, accounting for 8 percent of Hungary's total domestic solar-generated electricity. The newly commissioned power plant is capable of satisfying the energy needs of a city with a population of two hundred thousand for half a year.

It is anticipated to become part of operation in 2024. Romania represents the 4th additional nation this year in which MET Group has actually gotten renewable energy projects after Italy, Spain, and also Poland. MET has actually revealed the procurement of a 213MW solar PV project pipeline in Italy, a 50MW ready-to-build PV project in Spain, as well as a 60MW PV project in Poland. The Italian projects become part of Keppel MET Renewables, a brand-new joint venture with MET's critical partner Keppel Infrastructure, going after renewable energy possibilities in Western Europe. The Romanian PV project fits well right into MET Group's critical vision to expand its renewables portfolio in Europe as well as will certainly help it to reach a 2GW mounted capacity portfolio by 2026. Christian Hürlimann, Renewables CEO of MET Group stated: "We already have solar and wind farm projects in Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Italy and Spain. " And also currently, we onboard our initial PV project in Romania which is a nice fit to our expanding renewables generation portfolio. " As we aim to develop a geographically varied renewables portfolio in Europe, MET likewise targets renewable energy financial investments in Germany as well as various other Western European nations. " Our expansion method focuses specifically on European markets where we currently have a neighborhood presence, structure on our existing procedures throughout MET Group and giving renewable energy to our regional consumers."
