Hungary Deploys 1.3 GW of Solar in January-October Period
About 288,000 Hungarian households have installed residential PV systems, supported by the Napenergia Plusz Program, a grant initiative with a budget of HUF 75.8 billion ($218 million)
Data from transmission system operator MAVIR shows that solar energy production in Hungary reached a new peak on June 13, producing enough energy to serve the country's domestic electricity requirements entirely from renewables. Hungary has deployed almost 8 GW of solar capacity, according to the country's deputy minister of energy, Gàbor Czepek.
Hungary has also made significant progress in residential solar installations, aiming to add 1 GW of capacity by the end of 2026. The government is providing financial support through 90% non-refundable grants for households to install solar panels.
Hungary is making great strides in the utilisation of solar energy and has recently positioned itself as a European leader in renewable energies. 28. January 2025 8:37 Last year, a quarter of domestic electricity generation came from PV systems, which is the highest proportion on the European continent.
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.
