Background

TVK Industrial power station was built at Tiszai Vegyi Kombinát (Tisza Chemical Works) to support TVK process plants.[6] It also supports MOL's Tiszai Finomító refinery.[7] It was built by a partnership of Tiszai Vegyi Kombinat Rt (TVK)[8] and ÉMÁSZ[6], however in 2014 TVK bought out ÉMÁSZ's shares.[7] MOL Plc. acquired TVK and renamed it MOL Petrolkémia Zrt in 2015.[9] The power station is now run by MOL and MOL Petrolkémia Zrt subsidiary TVK-Erőmű Kft.
