E.ON building big solar farm for BMW
BMW Group Gyar Debrecen and electricity distributor E.ON Hungaria have signed a co-operation agreement on building a 50-hectare solar farm near the future BMW factory in the city, the companies announced yesterday.
Chairman and CEO Hans-Peter Kemser of BMW Manufacturing Hungary said the largest photovoltaic system of the BMW Group will be established in the factory, one of the largest such investments in Hungary.
The 43MW farm will consist of 320,000m2 of solar panels, of which 187,000m2 will be perched on the roofs of the factory buildings and the rest on the ground.
The farm will start generating energy –enough for the needs of 20,000 households – in November 2025, when the factory is due to start production.
E.ON will not only build but will operate the solar farm, said vice-president Zsolt Jamniczky. (portfolio.hu)

4iG proposes debt settlement plan for Spacecom
The board of directors of 4iG has presented a plan to settle the debts owed by Space Communications (Spacecom), an Israeli company in which it owns a 20% stake, the Hungarian IT firm said on Wednesday.
If the new proposal is accepted, 4iG will purchase the Amos-17 satellite owned by Spacecom for $150 million, which Spacecom will then lease back from 4iG.
Another possibility is that 4iG will provide the $150 million to Spacecom as a loan.
4iG increased its stake in Spacecom from 9.5% to 20% via a capital increase in February 2023.
It has an option to buy an additional 31% within three years if the Israeli government and shareholders approve.
Spacecom operates the Amos 3 satellite, providing services in Hungary’s region on a geostationary orbit until 2024, after which Hungary can control the satellite’s geostationary orbit and frequency. (portfolio.hu)

Triton sells dialysis unit to the state
The government will buy TritonLife Dialysis Centre for Ft 5.4 billion, in line with a non-public decision, HVG learned on Wednesday.
TritonLife purchased the medical service provider, then called FMC Dialysis Centre – which exclusively carried out state orders –from a German company in April 2023.
The staff were apparently unaware of the sale until the end of last week, when the change was announced at a meeting with immediate effect, HVG adds.
FMC suffered a loss of Ft 1.5 billion from Ft 11.3 billion in revenue in 2022.
B. Braun is the leader in Hungary’s dialysis market with a 40% share, followed by TritonLife with 35%, and Swedish company Diaverum with 12%. The state has the remaining 13%. (hvg.hu; telex.hu)
