Government Announces Support for a Residential Energy Storage
The government is announcing a residential energy storage program with a budget of HUF 100 billion (EUR 261 million), the Minister heading the Prime Minister''s Office said on
The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary's power grid. Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe's growing grid-scale energy transition.
Hungary isn't alone in stocking up on battery backup as it charts its green energy path. In neighbouring Bulgaria, a massive 124 MW/496 MWh battery energy storage system went live in Lovech earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Serbia—Hungary's southern neighbour—is preparing to deploy 200 MW/400 MWh of battery storage capacity. The planned systems are expected to be collocated with utility-scale solar farms, helping the country manage intermittency and improve energy resilience. The Dunamenti BESS is part of MET Group's broader play across Europe.
The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary's power grid, especially as solar capacity surges. With no moving parts and a rapid response time, batteries like this are designed to stabilize the grid by storing excess solar power and releasing it when demand peaks.
