Enlight Renewable Energy (“Enlight”, "the Company”, NASDAQ: ENLT,
TASE: ENLT.TA), a leading renewable energy platform, announces the
commencement of operations at the Tapolca solar project (“the
Project”) in Hungary, which has a production capacity of 60
megawatts. The project began commercial sales of electricity on
July 31, 2024, ahead of the Company’s original schedule.
This is Enlight's fifth project in Hungary, bringing the
Company’s total generating capacity in the country to 144 MW.
Tapolca will sell electricity at merchant prices, and it is
expected to provide green power equal to the total annual
consumption of approximately 30,000 Hungarian households.
The Project’s total construction cost amounted to $48 million.
Revenues in its first full year of operation are expected to be
approximately $6 million, and EBITDA is expected to be
approximately $5 million. The financing for the construction of the
project was provided by Raiffeisen Bank, and the financial close
occurred in March 2024. Enlight provided $21 million of long-term
equity for the Project.
Gilad Yavetz, CEO of Enlight: "We are
happy to announce the grid connection and commencement of
commercial operations at our fifth project in Hungary. The
continued development and operation of new European projects such
as Tapolca is another example of Enlight’s broad international
execution capabilities on a number of different continents. Enlight
Europe is undergoing significant expansion, implementing our
operating strategy in diverse markets which hedge and balance each
other, accelerating the growth of our operating portfolio and the
Company as whole.”
