Electricity scenarios for Hungary: Possible role of wind and solar
Weitemeyer et al. [21] suggested that wind and solar resources in the German power system can supply up to 50% of total electricity demand without storage requirements provided that other power plants are sufficiently flexible. Energy storage devices and expansion of transmission line capacity are needed to accommodate surpluses [30, 32].
Trendline Assessment of Solar Energy Potential in Hungary
The country currently has ten solar power plants with more than 10 MWp, and five remarkable plants under 10 MWp capacity spread over Hungary. The analysis on geographical aspects clubbed with technical and solar affecting parameters was carried out to harvest the sustainable potential of solar energy in the region.
Solar power in Hungary
Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2023 Hungary had just over 5.8 GW of photovoltaics capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. [1] Relatedly, solar power accounted for 18.4% of the country''s electricity generation in 2023, up from less than 0.1% in 2010

Hungarian Central Statistical Office
The capacity of solar power systems per inhabitant was the highest in Southern Great Plain, in districts around Lake Balaton and in agglomerations of large towns at the end of 2023. By contrast, it was the lowest in districts of the capital city, in less developed areas along the national boundary as well as in the inner periphery of the
Hungary 2022 – Analysis
Hungary has a strong starting point with considerable low carbon generation thanks to a remarkable growth of solar photovoltaic (PV) and the lifetime extension of its nuclear reactors up to mid-2030s. The government has an ambitious target of 90% clean electricity by 2030, Hungary needs to maintain and increase its low carbon generation.
Solar Capacity Growing at Astonishing Rate
The previously targeted 6,000 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity could be in production in Hungary as early as next year, the ministry said. The government will launch the Solar Energy Plus Program in early 2024 to encourage the installation of modern solar panels and storage systems in order to further promote the use of green energy.

6 FAQs about [Hungary solar power supply system]
Why is solar power growing in Hungary?
Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2022 Hungary had just over 4,000 megawatt (MW) of photovoltaics capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. Relatedly, solar power produced 12.5% of the country's electricity in 2022, up from less than 0.1% in 2010.
How big is solar power in Hungary?
Solar momentum is building in Hungary with almost 4 GW of generation capacity, more than 2.5 GW of which is from arrays bigger than 50 kW in scale, according to data published in December by the Hungarian Energetic and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority. Attila Keresztes, CEO of Astrasun Solar.
How can Hungarian energy systems be adapted?
Hungarian energy system. These can be adapted to regions foreseeing an than 10% of the gross electricity consumption). this study. Based on the analysis of wind and solar resources, the to solar power of Pw/Ps = 0.9. simulated. The exception is the generation portfolio P5 that has wind energy as the only vRES.
How many megawatts does Hungarian solar power have in 2022?
According to the data publication of the Hungarian transmission systems operator, the installed capacity of the Hungarian solar power plants has exceeded 4,000 megawatts in 2022. There are future projects which have already received access to the transmission grid in an amount of approximately 5,000 megawatts.
How much solar PV should be compared to wind power in Hungary?
It is shown by our EnergyPLAN model that the solar PV capacity should be 1.1 times the wind power capacity which is a huge contrast to the current situation where solar PV is almost 10 times the wind power capacity in Hungary. Projection of total electricity consumption according to energy scenarios.
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.
