Construction of the new Vajnory power station is set to begin. This project, which will exceed EUR 30 million, is one of the largest investments in energy infrastructure in the capital city, with one third of the cost covered by the European Union. The station will enhance electricity supply security, improve connectivity for households and businesses, and prepare the region for further renewable energy development and electromobility. The project is part of the Danube InGrid initiative, an international project connecting Slovakia and Hungary.
The construction of the new Vajnory power station was inaugurated by Szabolcs Hodosy, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic, together with representatives of the West Slovak Distribution Company, the Slovak Electricity Transmission System (SEPS), the Vajnory Municipality and other partners. The project is part of the Danube InGrid Project of Common Interest, which is funded by the European Union and aims to develop smart electricity networks in Central and Eastern Europe.
The new station will play a key role in ensuring the future power supply to the northern part of the capital, Bratislava, and will facilitate the connection of new customers. At the same time, it will improve the connection quality for existing customers in areas currently supplied by the Žabí Majer and Pezinok power stations, as well as Ostredky and Podunajské Biskupice. In the future, the Vajnory 110/22 kV station will be interconnected with the SEPS Vajnory 400/110 kV substation to create one of Slovakia's most important electricity hubs.
Investments in electricity infrastructure, such as the construction of this new power station, are key to ensuring a safe and reliable electricity supply. Such projects enable the efficient integration of renewable sources, strengthen energy stability, and improve supply quality for residents and businesses. The multi-source financing used by this project is an example of an effective combination of national and European resources to support strategic investments in the energy sector,' said Denisa Saková, Slovakia's Minister of Economy.
The construction forms part of the Danube InGrid project, which has a total value of EUR 291 million. Of this amount, 35% is financed by European funds via the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). The project is the result of cross-border cooperation between Západoslovenská distribučná and SEPS, as well as the Hungarian operator E.ON Észak-dunántúli Áramhálózati Zrt.
Danube InGrid has been given priority status and aims to modernise the electricity infrastructure, improve the security and flexibility of the distribution network, and prepare it for the transition to sustainable energy sources. The project also includes support for the digitisation, monitoring and automation of the grid, for example through smart devices or remotely controlled substations.
The Ministry of Economy has long supported investments that improve energy security, stability and regional competitiveness. The Vajnory power station project demonstrates that Slovakia is actively utilising common European policy instruments to modernise critical infrastructure and facilitate the transition to smart, clean and affordable energy.
