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.
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.
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.
The subsidies are secured via the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and the state budget. They consist of non-refundable investment support and income compensation for the construction of energy storage facilities and their operation for at least ten years. The operational support will be provided through two-way contracts for difference.
The country had a record year for new solar in 2023, adding 1.6 GW. Preliminary figures from MAVIR showed the total solar capacity equated to 3.3 GW of industrial solar power plants and 2.3 GW of household-sized installations.
Lantos said through currently running applications, families and businesses are being supported by HUF 260bn of funding for investments into green energy production and storage, and this amount could soon exceed HUF 300bn.
