The Hungarian government has launched a residential energy storage program with a budget of HUF 100 billion. Under the initiative, households can install 10 kW battery energy storage systems, with a non-refundable subsidy of HUF 2.5 million to support the purchase.

Prime Minister Gergely Gulyás said this week that the program aims to help families with solar panels – or those planning to install them – store their own electricity and increase energy self-sufficiency.

Following the announcement, Gábor Czepek, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy, confirmed on Facebook that the government would release further details on the tender by mid-January and open applications for families in early February.
