The first network storage facility in Hungary was installed by E.On in 2018 followed shortly by Alteo with 3.92 MWh and ELMŰ (Innogy) with 6 MWh (6 MW + 8 MW capacity). Currently, the total capacity of the storage units applied in the primary Hungarian regulatory market is 28 MW.
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.
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.
