Archenerg Review: Government Intervenes in Solar Market, Numerous Utility Bills Affected
After solar panels, batteries are now taking center stage. In early February, the government will launch a HUF 100 billion residential energy storage program, with application details available starting this Thursday. Households can receive a HUF 2.5 million grant by completing a simple 2.5-page form. The goal is to store solar energy that is currently produced but wasted, thereby reducing household vulnerability and the load on the electricity grid. Gábor Czepek, Deputy Minister of Energy and Government Commissioner for Electricity Storage, told Index that the country that solves energy storage now will be the winner of the 2030s.
