BMW has commenced the construction of its largest solar power plant within the BMW Group, located in Debrecen, Hungary. The groundbreaking ceremony, attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó, marks another milestone in Hungary’s rise as a global leader in the green economy.

The facility will also be Hungary’s largest industrial solar power plant, underscoring the nation’s commitment to green energy.

Szijjártó highlighted Hungary’s success in the automotive industry, noting that it is home to Europe’s top electric motor and car manufacturers, as well as some of the world’s largest electric battery producers. Last year, the country’s automotive production surpassed 13,000 billion forints, ranking Hungary among the world’s top 20 automotive exporters for the sixth consecutive year.
