The 2-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) is the largest in Hungary, Switzerland-headquartered MET Group said, deployed at its Dunamenti thermal power plant in Százhalombatta, near Budapest.
Currently, Hungary’s entire energy storage capacity stands at 30 MW. The new storage battery is set to be operational by 2025, making it easier and more cost-effective to store renewable energy. This development is expected to enable the green energy sector to make a greater contribution to Hungary’s energy mix.
According to portfolio.hu, the project is estimated to cost HUF 8.5 billion (EUR 21 million), with a capacity of 60 MWh. Currently, Hungary’s entire energy storage capacity stands at 30 MW. The new storage battery is set to be operational by 2025, making it easier and more cost-effective to store renewable energy.
Hungary's largest solar energy project is underway, in collaboration with Huawei. The contract was signed in February, with MAVIR Ltd. as the investor.
