The government of Hungary has introduced a HUF-100-billion (USD 305m/EUR 260m) programme to support residential energy storage installations to ensure that families with solar panels can remain self-sufficient in the long term. Author: Centre for Alternative Technology. By 2025, however, that threshold had already been surpassed, with gross installed PV capacity exceeding 9 GW. The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary's power grid. Hungary has 40MWh of grid-scale BESS online today but that will jump 3,400% to around 1,300MWh over the next few years thanks to opex and capex support. . The Hungarian government has earmarked HUF 62 billion ($169 million) for grid-scale energy storage projects in a bid to facilitate further deployment of renewable energy sources. With a nominal output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh, the facility marks the latest in a series of energy storage investments by MET Group across Europe.
