Hungarian delegation visits Croatia geothermal plant

A Hungarian delegation led by Csaba Latorcai, a state secretary at the Prime Minister’s Office, visited Croatia’s sole geothermal power plant designed by Hungarians in Bjelovar-Bilogora County on Thursday.

Hungary’s government wants to support the construction of plants in Hungary like the 16.5 MW one in Bjelovar-Bilogora, Latorcai told MTI by phone.

“We would like more and more plants like this to be built in our country, since the Hungarian government, too, is committed to green energy,” he said, noting that Hungary’s recovery plan allocated a significant amount of funding towards the development of green energy.

Latorcai said Hungarian state-owned energy company MVM planned to build eight geothermal plants to make Hungary “as green as possible”.

“We, of course, are hopeful that other investors will see the potential in this, as Hungary also offers incredible opportunities at the European level when it comes to geothermal energy, which we must make use of,” he said.
