Green Energy Investhor has obtained the first final construction permit linked to its planned 550 MW wind development programme in Hungary. The approval clears the way for physical construction to start on a 28.8 MW wind farm near the municipality of Bana. The permit enables work on the wind farm site, with construction activity beginning following the permitting decision.
The Bana project is set to include four wind turbines. Each turbine is rated at 7.2 MW, with rotor diameters of around 170 metres and a maximum height of approximately 215 metres. The permit currently covers only the wind farm infrastructure itself, while grid connection approval remains subject to a separate process.
A separate approval process is still required for the grid connection before the project can be fully commissioned and begin operation. The company therefore must complete additional steps beyond the construction permit to enable electricity delivery.
Bana wind farm scope and turbine specifications
The 28.8 MW Bana wind farm will be built with four turbines configured under the same permitting framework. Turbine capacity is 7.2 MW each, with rotor diameters around 170 metres and a maximum height of about 215 metres. The current permit scope is limited to wind farm infrastructure rather than network integration.
Grid connection requirements are handled through an additional approval track that must be completed prior to commissioning. This means physical construction can proceed under the granted authorisation, but operational start depends on completing the network connection process.
Green Energy Investhor pipeline across Hungarian counties
The Bana wind farm is described as the first step in a broader development pipeline led by Green Energy Investhor. The wider programme spans three Hungarian counties: Győr-Moson-Sopron, Komárom-Esztergom, and Vas. Planned projects are included across 16 municipalities.
According to CEO Antal Ritter, the permit represents the end of several years of development work and the start of the execution phase for the company’s wind expansion strategy. If fully realized, the portfolio would include around 70 wind turbines producing approximately 1,200 GWh of electricity annually.
Further regulatory steps remain necessary before larger-scale construction can proceed beyond Bana. These include additional permitting processes and network connection approvals required for integrating new capacity into Hungary’s national grid.
Role in Hungary’s renewable generation mix
The investment programme is designed to strengthen Hungary’s domestic renewable energy supply and reduce dependence on imported electricity. It is also expected to complement Hungary’s expanding solar generation fleet by adding wind output under different weather conditions. Wind generation is described as contributing to system flexibility and balance alongside solar.
The company’s next milestones depend on completing remaining approvals tied to grid connection and other permitting requirements for subsequent projects in its pipeline. Until those steps are secured, commissioning and operation for each project remain contingent on network integration approvals.
