How much solar power will Hungary produce in 2022?
Relatedly, solar power produced 12.5% of the country's electricity in 2022, up from less than 0.1% in 2010. In 2023, the country's Minister of Energy, Csaba Lantos, predicted Hungary's target for 6,000 MW of PV capacity by 2030 would likely be exceeded twice over, hitting 12,000 MW instead.
What happened to Hungarian solar power plants?
In October, the Hungarian government introduced a provision for small, household-sized solar power plants that fundamentally transformed the Hungarian solar market. Since Oct. 31, the aforementioned, sub-50 kW, grid-connected household systems could no longer have a grid connection and could only be used for self-consumption.
Are Hungarian solar projects eligible?
Even then, eligible projects must fulfill “exemption conditions” which lack transparency. In October, the Hungarian government introduced a provision for small, household-sized solar power plants that fundamentally transformed the Hungarian solar market.
