Gábor Tari and Péter PachPaks II. Ltd. submitted its application for an implementation license for the new units to the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (HEA) on 9 October 2020, fulfilling its obligation under the electricity act (VET).

 The implementation license submitted to Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority – similar to the implementation license about the nuclear facilities, issued by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority – is a requirement to start the construction, production, acquisition and assembly works. 

In November 2020, the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (HEA) issued the necessary license to start the construction of the new units as electricity generation units. This document adds to the range of important licenses such as the environmental license and the site license. The electricity implementation license - together with the nuclear implementation license issued by the Hungarian Atomic Energy Authority - is a precondition for the commencement of the actual construction, production, procurement and installation works of the new units. HEA granted the license in principle for the first time according to the legal regulations. The relevant license application was submitted by the Network Connection Project Team led by the Electricity Department (VIO), Gábor Tari - former CEO of MAVIR - continued this work, and has mainly worked with the team on the preparation of the specific electricity implementation license application documentation. The experienced, charismatic engineer and his young, agile colleague, Peter Pach, and the project team that helped them worked together for a long time to acquire this license for the project. Gábor Tari has been working for Paks II. since 2017, and Péter Pach has been the head of the electrical networks and automation area since the beginning. The work of the two of them is a good example of generations working together in the Paks II. project.

The documentation developed in accordance with the VET regulations is intended to certify that the power plant will meet the relevant requirements, fit into its environment, won’t affect the continuous operation of the existing nuclear power plant, and contribute to the long-term supply security of the Hungarian electricity system.

The technical documentation was provided by the Russian Contractor, based on which the the employees of Paks II. Ltd. prepared and compiled the licensing documentation package in accordance with the legal regulations with a thorough and comprehensive professional support.
- It is very important to make ourselves aware that a nuclear power plant is being built here, the main product of which is electricity and that this must be delivered to consumers through the cooperating system. Our task is to create the possibility of this in the optimal way - says Gábor Tari.
