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
The new storage facility, for which Huawei will provide the equipment, will be eight times larger and will be one of the largest battery energy storage facilities in Central Europe. The investment is being driven by the continuous expansion of solar capacity.
The Hungarian authorities have recently announced the winners of the energy storage tender that was open in January and February of this year. The winners are expected to complete 50 projects by 2026 with a total capacity of 440 MW which should prove instrumental to supporting the grid.

To strengthen security of supply, prioritise investments in energy efficiency and domestic low-carbon energy sources by removing all barriers to the roll-out of renewable electricity and its system integration through increased energy
Among the measures to stimulate the use of green energy, the program to promote grid-integrated energy storage was already approved last year. Thanks to a public contribution of HUF 33 billion (EUR 80 million), storage facilities with a total capacity of 38 megawatts will be installed at 13 sites.
To strengthen security of supply, prioritise investments in energy efficiency and domestic low-carbon energy sources by removing all barriers to the roll-out of renewable electricity and its system integration through increased energy storage and demand response.
The projects will help Hungary transition to a net-zero energy system, and the scheme was approved under the EU''s Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, adopted in March to support sectors key to accelerating the transition and reducing fossil fuel dependency.
Various schemes have been launched to increase energy storage capacity and promote the green transition, he said, noting 75 billion forints-worth of subsidies for households and 30 billion forints available for businesses for purchasing electric cars,

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 scheme from the government of Hungary to support large-scale energy storage projects.
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.
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.
This €1.1 billion Hungarian measure will facilitate the development of electricity storage capacity. The Hungarian electricity system will be more flexible. The preparation for a higher integration of renewables into the electricity mix, is in line with EU climate and energy targets.
The national funding will support the installation of 800MW of large-scale electricity storage. Hungary seeks to increase storage capacity in order to offer greater gird flexibility.
