In 2025, MET Group directed 39% of its capital expenditure towards renewable energy projects and battery energy storage systems (BESS). At the same time, renewable energy production reached 625 GWh, supported by the development of new photovoltaic parks in Germany and Italy, including the Group’s first agri-photovoltaic (Agri-PV) project.
In parallel, MET inaugurated one of the largest BESS installations in Hungary at the Dunamenti Power Plant, contributing to increasing the flexibility of the energy system and the integration of renewable energy.
At the same time, in its 2025 Climate Impact Report, the company reflects a year of continued progress on climate goals, including increased green energy production, a high capital allocation to support the energy transition, and the first greenhouse gas emissions inventory certified by limited assurance by an independent auditor.
“In 2025, the Group increased the proportion of capital expenditure directed towards green energy and BESS projects to 39%. Renewable energy production reached 625 GWh, supported by new solar parks in Germany and Italy, including the Group’s first Agri-PV (agri-photovoltaic) project. MET also inaugurated one of the largest BESS installations in Hungary at the Dunamenti Power Plant, thus supporting grid flexibility and the integration of renewable energy. MET Group’s average grid emission factor in energy markets improved from 279 to 255 gCO₂e/kWh, mainly driven by the significant increase in the portfolio in cleaner markets, such as Spain. For the first time, MET Group’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory was certified by limited assurance by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich,” the company said.
MET Group’s climate approach aims to align with the EU Fit for 55 framework and integrates climate risk management into long-term strategic planning and investment decisions. The report outlines MET’s approach to managing both physical and transition risks, while strengthening the role of diversified assets, flexible infrastructure and integrated trading operations in supporting resilience in evolving energy markets.
In his first statement on the Climate Impact Report as CEO of MET Group, Huibert Vigeveno highlighted: “Our ambition to be a European energy champion, able to offer customers cleaner energy, positions us well to support Europe in addressing the energy transition trilemma: decarbonisation, security of supply and affordability – steering the transition in a way that is commercially sustainable, operationally reliable and affordable for the customers and stakeholders we serve.”
Huibert Vigeveno added: “Europe should move beyond perceiving the energy transition as a climate obligation and treat it as an industrial and technological opportunity. Sustained leadership in climate action will ultimately depend on Europe’s ability to remain an attractive pole for investment, foster innovation and enable large-scale industrial deployment of new solutions.”
