MET Group has inaugurated Hungary's largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at the Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, further advancing efforts to enhance grid flexibility and support renewable energy integration. The European Commission has approved a €1. 1 billion (approximately HUF 436 billion) Hungarian scheme to support electricity storage facilities to foster the transition to a net-zero economy. It also targets reducing Hungary's dependency on fossil fuel imports, notably natural gas from Russia, while accelerating the energy transition in line with the REPowerEU Plan and the Green Deal. Hungary has strengthened its electricity system with the commissioning of its largest battery energy storage facility, located near the town of Buj in the northeastern part of the country. 8 MW, were built with more than 11. 8 MW and a storage capacity of 144,288 MWh, has been completed on the outskirts of Buj in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County.
