4 FAQs about Hungary s intelligent photovoltaic energy storage container bidirectional charging

How many batteries are installed in Hungary?

The government's EUR 45.1 million subsidy program for residential and corporate investments resulted in the installation of 12,000 batteries in households of 109 MWh in total, the official pointed out. Hungary now hosts 114 MW in battery capability. Czepek estimated that the grants would bring 1 GW online by 2030, as targeted.

Does Hungary have a regulatory framework for co-located Bess projects?

Historically, Hungary's regulatory framework did not provide clear guidelines for the integration of co-located BESS projects. This lack of specific regulation created uncertainty for investors and developers, hampering the widespread adoption of these energy storage solutions.

Can battery energy storage systems be co-located with solar power plants?

However, the inherent variability of solar power generation presents challenges for maintaining grid stability and ensuring a reliable electricity supply. To address these challenges, the development of battery energy storage systems (BESS) co-located with solar power plants (i.e. cable pooling) has become increasingly important.

What is the Hungarian Electricity Act 2025?

The Hungarian Electricity Act was amended in early 2025 to include regulations concerning the shared use of producer lines and grid connection points by multiple power plants or BESS systems, each with a nominal capacity of at least 0.5 MW and owned by different entities.
