The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary’s power grid. Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe’s growing grid-scale energy transition.
Hungary isn’t alone in stocking up on battery backup as it charts its green energy path. In neighbouring Bulgaria, a massive 124 MW/496 MWh battery energy storage system went live in Lovech earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Serbia—Hungary’s southern neighbour—is preparing to deploy 200 MW/400 MWh of battery storage capacity. The planned systems are expected to be collocated with utility-scale solar farms, helping the country manage intermittency and improve energy resilience. The Dunamenti BESS is part of MET Group’s broader play across Europe.
State secretary for energy transition of the Energy Ministry Viktor Horvath noted that Hungary had built more than 8,000MW of solar capacity in the past 5-6 years and one-quarter of the electricity generated in the country came from renewable sources last year.
