Budapest Power Signal Base Station 3 44MWh

Will Hungary''s new battery energy storage system help Green the grid?

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.

Which country is preparing to deploy 200 mw/400 MWh of battery storage?

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.

How met group contributes to the energy transition in Hungary?

On site at the Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, MET already installed a 4 MW / 8 MWh demonstrator plant based on Tesla Megapack 2 batteries in 2022. With this latest BESS plant which went into operation today, MET Group and the Dunamenti Power Station are further strengthening their contribution to the energy transition in Hungary.

How will a new solar power plant help Hungary''s power grid?

The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary’s power grid, especially as solar capacity surges. With no moving parts and a rapid response time, batteries like this are designed to stabilize the grid by storing excess solar power and releasing it when demand peaks.
