Combined heat and power
The electricity generated by the plant is sold to Hungary's national grid. The plant produces 350 GWh annually — more than the entire consumption of the city of Pécs.
High-voltage lines from substations
The heat produced by the CHP process is provided to residents of Pécs. The plant's heat production is enough to meet the city's domestic hot water needs during the summer months and helps to heat 30,000 homes in the winter.

Combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous production of heat and power from natural gas, petroleum products, coal, waste or biomass. The heat generated during power production is recovered and used either for residential heating or in industrial processes. This can significantly enhance the use of primary energy, by ensuring overall efficiency of 80% or even higher.
