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.
Hungary is in an excellent position to develop raw material production capacities through access to primary raw materials, but especially through recycling capacities, including projects for the processing of waste from battery production.
