Storage support: From 2024, Hungary introduced a support scheme for batteries (BESS) (40 MW/80 MWh MET project; MVM 20 MWh pilot), encouraging co-located storage. Consumers/prosumers: New “Solar Plus” and RRF schemes fund household PV with storage, incentivising self-consumption and local flexibility. Off-Grid and Alternative Solutions
Policy Direction Hungary's energy policy continues to emphasise a low-carbon electricity mix (~90% nuclear + renewables by 2030), as reflected in the updated NECP. The government remains committed to grid security and import reduction, while scaling renewables primarily through solar PV, reopened wind and biomass/biogas.
Lakes and rivers (eg, Lake Balaton, the Danube, the Tisza) are protected bodies of water and not used for large-scale offshore wind or floating solar. As a result, offshore wind, tidal and wave energy projects are not relevant in the Hungarian context. Upcoming Projects There are no planned offshore renewable projects in Hungary.
Hungary's renewable heat sector is structured around regulated DH systems, where transportation is via municipally or state-owned grids under the District Heating Act. MEKH licenses and supervises operators. Tariffs are regulated by government decree, not market-based.
