The Hungarian Ministry of Energy has released draft legislation aimed at promoting and accelerating the country’s green transition. This proposed legislation seeks to simplify the installation of solar panels on apartment buildings and enhance developments that improve network flexibility, enabling an increase in home solar capacity.
Key features of the draft include provisions for remote monitoring of residential solar capacity by network operators, the removal of barriers to network investments, and restrictions on low-voltage network feed-in to households. Additionally, it limits industrial-scale feed-in to companies chosen through regular tenders.
Currently, Hungary’s solar capacity is approximately 7,200 MW, with a goal of reaching 12,000 MW by 2030. The legislation also mandates the creation of a registry for public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and alternative fuel stations, while adjusting the target for renewable energy use in transportation from 14% to 25%.
