Alternative Energy Hungary: First Windfarm in Hungary

Kaposvar

Austrian company �ko-Energia GmbH is to invest Ft60 billion ($284.6 million) in establishing the first wind farm in Hungary, in the south R�bak�z region, 150km west of Budapest. Forty-eight wind turbines will be built, at a price of between Ft500-800m ($2.37-3.79m) and producing 2,000 kilowatts per hour.

Although the company has yet to sign any agreements with the landowners, according to Lajos Tak�cs, the mayor of D�nesfa, this won't hinder the project. "I am sure the company will be able to come to an agreement with the property owners," Tak�cs said.
