Simultaneous with its purchase of the ownership share MET Group decided to grant a shareholder loan to the power plant.
Both parties have made significant efforts to ensure that Dunamenti Power Plant will be equipped to embark upon a sustainable business path and thereby contribute to the security of the Hungarian energy supply in the future.
The agreement means that there is now a good chance that almost 100 jobs at Dunamenti Power Plant can be preserved in the future.
