Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2023 Hungary had just over 5.8 GW of photovoltaics capacity, a
The Hungarian government has allocated HUF 62 billion (EUR 158 million) for energy storage projects with an overall 440 MW in operating power. Hungarian authorities launched the tender for grid-scale batteries on January 15 and received offers until February 5. The winning bidders were selected a few days ago.
The ministry said that Hungary has set its 2030 energy storage goal at 1 GW in the updated National Energy and Climate Plan. Home » News » Electricity » Hungary awards EUR 158 million for 440 MW of energy storage
Electricity costs for Hungarian consumers did not increase in November. Last month, Hungarian households paid the second cheapest price for electricity: 9.06 euro cents per kilowatt hour, up to the limit of the average consumption of 2,523 kilowatt hours per year. The cheapest price was registered in Belgrade, Serbia.
FM Szijjártó recently stated that 28.5 percent of Hungary’s total annual consumption is in the country’s storage facilities. This does not look good considering that roughly two-thirds of Hungary’s consumption, 6 bcm, occurs in the period between November and March. Holoda, however, interprets the situation differently.
With funds obtained within a previous program, the country’s transmission system operator MAVIR is already building a 20 MW energy storage system in Szolnok in central Hungary, the ministry noted.
Much less gas is being stored in Hungary at present than in the previous two years in mid July. According to a diagram from the office of energy affairs, the capacity in 2020 was 5.4 bcm and 4.5 bcm in 2021, while this year that figure stands at 2.84 bcm.
