The 2-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) is the largest in Hungary, Switzerland-headquartered MET Group said, deployed at its Dunamenti thermal power plant in Százhalombatta, near Budapest.
Historically, Hungary's regulatory framework did not provide clear guidelines for the integration of co-located BESS projects. This lack of specific regulation created uncertainty for investors and developers, hampering the widespread adoption of these energy storage solutions.
While the concept of electricity storage was introduced into Hungarian law earlier, comprehensive policies to support the deployment of co-located BESS systems were lacking.
Recent regulatory developments, particularly the amendments to the Hungarian Electricity Act and the subsequent updates to the Hungarian Transmission System Operator MAVIR's Operational Code, have now established a more accommodating framework for the deployment of these systems.
