Hungary: Hybrid power plant with energy storage inaugurated

A hybrid power plant capable of storing electricity was inaugurated in Osku, Veszprém county in western Hungary, which can store solar energy for six hours.

Attila Steiner, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Policy, emphasized that the plant fits well into the government’s energy policy. The aim is to produce as much green energy as possible and to store it for as long as possible.

The State Secretary recalled that the Ministry of Innovation and Technology set a target of 6,000 MW for solar power generation by 2030, years ago, but this has already been reached this year, raising the target to 12,000 megawatts.

He added d that the country has 20-30 megawatts of storage capacity, which they want to increase by 460 megawatts from a 158 million euros subsidy program, which is roughly the production capacity of a unit at the Paks nuclear power plant. “The aim is to provide Hungarian consumers with energy at the most competitive prices possible, and it is important that we are not only users but also producers of new technologies,” he underlined.

Péter Mihalovics, chairman of the board of Ideona, the company implementing the facility, stressed that the energy storage facility, built with a budget of HUF 1.5 billion (EUR 3.8 million), consists of seven container units. The vanadium-based technology used here has a life cycle of 25 years.
