Moderator Nikita Chandrashekar, director at advisory Augusta & Co, said the scheme made Hungary an attractive market: “It is probably one of the most advanced subsidies schemes to bring energy storage forward. So from a revenue perspective, perhaps, unlike some other markets, the business case in Hungary seems pretty well developed.”
Hungary has 40MWh of grid-scale BESS online today but that will jump 3,400% to around 1,300MWh over the next few years thanks to opex and capex support from the government, said Pálma Szolnoki, senior research associate at trade body the Hungarian Battery Alliance.
Szolnoki agreed, saying that cannibalisation was much further away. The Energy Storage Summit Central Eastern Europe is set to return in September 2025 for its third edition, focusing on regional markets and the unique opportunities they present.

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
Following the announcement, Gábor Czepek, Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, confirmed in a Facebook post that in early February, the Hungarian Government
The government is launching a HUF 100 billion ($303 million) residential energy storage program to help families with solar panels achieve long-term energy self-sufficiency.
From February, private households will be able to apply for subsidies for energy storage systems with a capacity of up to 10 kW. The grant per household is expected to amount to HUF 2.5

The Hungarian government says its new HUF 100 billion ($305.4 million) program will support 10 kW home battery systems to boost solar self-consumption and cut evening-peak demand.
Conclusion Hungary''s €2.1 billion residential battery subsidy marks a decisive step toward a storage-driven energy system. As solar penetration rises and grid flexibility becomes
The government of Hungary has introduced a HUF-100-billion (USD 305m/EUR 260m) programme to support residential energy storage installations to ensure that families with solar
