MET flips the switch on Hungary''s biggest battery project
With the latest system coming online on 19 June, MET Group and Dunamenti Power Station are stepping up their support for Hungary''s shift to cleaner energy. Europe sees
Swiss-based energy company MET Group has officially inaugurated Hungary's largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, located close to Budapest. The new facility boasts a total power output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh.
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.
Hungary isn't alone in stocking up on battery backup as it charts its green energy path. In neighbouring Bulgaria, a massive 124 MW/496 MWh battery energy storage system went live in Lovech earlier this year.
The battery energy storage project will receive a HUF 2.7bn grant from the European Union's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and HUF 5.6bn in investment incentive funds from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Archibald Schubert, managing director of Mol Exploration and Production Hungary said.
