Renewable Energy 2025
The most important renewable energy technologies in Hungary are: Solar PV: Solar PV generation is the dominant renewable technology in Hungary. Installed capacity exceeded 6.7 GW by mid
Alongside the Netherlands, Hungary is also one of the few countries where solar energy covered more than 80% of electricity demand on over 70 days during peak generation periods in 2023. By spring 2025, Hungary had built around 7,800 megawatts of solar energy capacity, with four-fifths of that installed since 2020.
Hungary has experienced a remarkable boom in solar energy in recent years. It has been shown in both the private and industrial sectors how strong the potential of photovoltaics actually is in this country.
As of early November 2024, the country has achieved an impressive total solar capacity of over 5,500 megawatts (MW), underscoring the importance of solar energy for Hungary's energy future.
The Hungarian government has set ambitious goals for the expansion of solar energy in the coming years. By 2030, the country's total capacity is expected to rise to 12 GW, doubling the current capacity. This target is an important step towards achieving the country's climate goals while diversifying the energy market.
