Hungary plans to reopen applications for feed-in tariffs for households from 1 January 2024, according to Minister of Energy Csaba Lantos.
He explained that the suspension of household applications, which was introduced in late 2022, after prosumer solar capacity outpaced electricity network capacity, will be lifted for 93% of network coverage, affecting around 84% of household consumers, adding that the measure was made possible by increased investments in network developments.
Lantos also announced the launch, as of 1 January 2024, of a tender for some 193 million euros in subsidies for home solar panels combined with battery storage. The funding should cover 65% of the investment cost.
