Only a few years ago, the Hungarian National Energy Strategy set the then ambitious target of reaching 6 GW of solar power capacity by 2030. By early 2024, that target had already been achieved, as the gross capacity of
Investing in solar energy can significantly reduce energy costs and carbon footprints, but the upfront costs are often considered a barrier. Various financing options
MOL plans to build a total storage capacity of several hundred MWh in Hungary by 2030. The investment, coordinated by the Ministry of Public Administration and Regional Development, will be supported by the European Union with 2.7
Thinking about Financing Battery Storage Systems for your commercial or industrial facility? Learn about strategies you have available in this blog and webinar.
Both the US and global energy storage markets have experienced rapid growth over the last year and are expected to continue expanding rapidly in order to support grid resiliency. Through 2030, the global
Even without the small domestic-scale plants, the more productive solar PV (photovoltaic) systems have already surpassed the 1 gigawatt expansion in 2024. Hungary reached its target of 6,000 megawatts of total
The Hungarian Ministry of Energy has announced that around 50 grid-scale energy storage projects with a cumulative capacity of 440 MW have received subsidy support through a tender launched in February this year.
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.
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.
Hungary has set a target of 12 GW of solar capacity by the start of the next decade. However, grid capacity shortfalls have been dire, hampering primarily the rollout of large-scale solar. The country’s revised National Energy and Climate Plan envisages the construction of a total of 1 GW of storage capacity by 2030.
With funds obtained through a previous program, transmission system operator MAVIR is already building the country's largest energy storage system – a 20 MW project in Szolnok, central Hungary, the ministry said. It added that several projects with even bigger capacity will be installed under the tender concluded a few days ago.
The European Commission has 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.
