The European Commission approved a €1.1 billion (approximately HUF 436 billion) Hungarian scheme to support electricity storage facilities to foster the transition to a net-zero economy.
Hungary notified to the Commission, under the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, a Hungarian scheme to support the installation of at least 800 MW/1600 MWh of new electricity storage facilities.
In another tender, for a wider range of companies, contracts are being signed to support the completion of 50 facilities in 2026 with HUF 62bn of state contributions. Lantos said Hungary’s solar energy capacity has surpassed 7.5 GW.
This €1.1 billion Hungarian measure will facilitate the development of electricity storage capacity. The Hungarian electricity system will be more flexible. The preparation for a higher integration of renewables into the electricity mix, is in line with EU climate and energy targets.
Lantos said Hungary’s solar energy capacity has surpassed 7.5 GW. By 2030, they are calculating that there will be 12 GW of solar plants, but additional network investments will be needed to connect this capacity to the grid.
On this basis, the Commission approved the aid measure under EU State aid rules. “This €1.1 billion Hungarian measure will facilitate the development of electricity storage capacity. The Hungarian electricity system will be more flexible.
