Hungary solar power output hits record high, Paks construction ‘reaches new milestone’
Output of Hungary’s industrial-scale solar parks with a capacity of over 50 kW reached a record 3,242 MW last Friday in the quarter hour between 1 pm and 1.15 pm, the energy ministry said on Facebook.
Citing data from state-owned transmission system operator Mavir, the ministry said that, including household solar panels, Hungary’s solar power output exceeded the 2030 target output of 6,000 MW as early as February this year, and was now approaching 6,800 MW.
The ministry said that by the end of August, 1,134 quarter hours had seen solar power output exceed last year’s high of 2,731 MW.
Paks construction ‘reaches new milestone’
A new milestone has been reached with the completion of soil works under Block 5 of the Paks nuclear power plant, and similar works under Block 6 are under way, Péter Szijjártó, the minister of foreign affairs and trade, said on Monday.
Countries that produce most of their energy requirements are generally regarded as “safe”, the minister said on Facebook, adding that Hungary was intent on speeding up construction of the plant’s two new blocks.
Today Szijjarto spoke by phone with Rosatom chief executive Aleksey Likhacsov, and they reviewed key tasks for the next few weeks with a view to accelerating the project. He said more than 1,000 people were working at the site and this number would soon increase significantly.

Sigh…
The components for these solar panels are mined by African child slaves.
Their lifespan is at most twenty years.
They are nonrecyclable.
Some of their components are almost as toxic as nuclear waste and must be handled accordingly (think of the cost!).
By 2050, more than half the total plastic waste in the world will be decommissioned solar panels.
They are inefficient and far less productive than any other form of electricity generation… – except the wind turbines.
They decimate wildlife and destroy habitats because they require ENORMOUS land space and supporting infrastructure.
Stop this “green” bulls… already. It’s a total scam!
Actually, Michael is living in the past. Most solar panels last 25 – 30 years plus. There are panels from California that are 43 year old and still outputting 80% of their original power. Most solar panels are recyclable, up to 97% in one Texas facility. By 2050 there will be no solar panels that aren’t 100% recyclable. No solar panel has “waste” as toxic as “nuclear waste”, that’s just insanity. They do not require valuable agricultural land – just Google “Agrivolatics” to learn that they can improve crop yields from crops grown under them, as well provide shelter to sheep and increase their wool yield. Don’t believe the rubbish that pro–Fossil Fuel trolls spin. Do your own reserach.
