PPC moves on ABO Energy's Polish and Hungarian solar pipeline
A 2-gigawatt development pipeline in Poland and Hungary changes hands as Public Power Corporation, the Greek integrated utility known as PPC, finalizes terms to acquire ABO Energy's two subsidiaries in those markets. The deal also covers five operating solar parks with a combined 82 megawatts of capacity and a 17-megawatt farm approaching completion. No financial terms were disclosed; the transaction requires regulatory approval before closing, which both parties expect before the end of the year.
Key takeaways
- Public Power Corporation (PPC), the Greek integrated utility, is finalizing terms to acquire ABO Energy's subsidiaries in Poland and Hungary, including a roughly 2-gigawatt solar development pipeline.
- The deal also includes five operating solar parks totaling 82 megawatts and a 17-megawatt farm nearing completion, plus 38 ABO Energy staff.
- No financial terms were disclosed, and the transaction requires regulatory approval in both Poland and Hungary before closing, which both parties expect before year-end.
- The sale follows ABO Energy's earlier exits from its Greek subsidiary and most of its Finnish wind pipeline as part of a restructuring and financing effort.
- ABO Energy has operated in Poland and Hungary since 2019 and says the sale does not affect its broader restructuring process.

What PPC is acquiring
The package is substantial on paper. Alongside the roughly 2-gigawatt pipeline, PPC takes on 38 ABO Energy staff currently working across Poland and Hungary. Among the operating assets is the Szarvas solar park in Hungary, commissioned in 2024. PPC is described in the announcement as an integrated utility group operating across south-east Europe, making Poland and Hungary a geographic extension of its existing footprint.
The five operating parks collectively deliver 82 megawatts; the near-complete 17-megawatt facility adds to that count once it reaches commissioning. No timelines were attached to when the development pipeline might progress toward construction.
ABO Energy's shrinking map
This deal fits a clear pattern. ABO Energy managing director Dr Karsten Schlageter said in a statement that the Polish and Hungarian sales follow the exit from the company's Greek subsidiary and most of its Finnish wind power pipeline. The stated logic: concentrate resources in markets where the company can sustain long-term commercial success.
The Finnish exit is worth noting for scale. Last year ABO Energy completed the sale of a 4.4-gigawatt wind portfolio covering 29 projects to Finnish energy company Fortum, for 40 million euros ($46.3 million) on a cash and debt-free basis. That deal far exceeded the Polish and Hungarian pipeline in nominal project capacity; the current transaction's terms remain entirely undisclosed.
ABO Energy has operated in Poland and Hungary since 2019. The company, active for close to three decades across wind, solar, battery, and hydrogen development, is explicit that this sale is part of a restructuring and planned financing effort. ABO stated the transaction does not affect that broader process.
What to watch
Regulatory approval in both Poland and Hungary is the gating item before the deal can close. Both companies are targeting completion before year-end. ABO Energy added that it continues to work toward a sustainable restructuring and financing solution in the coming weeks and months.
