Solar power in Hungary has been rapidly advancing due to government support and declining system prices. By the end of 2023 had just over 5.8 GW of capacity, a massive increase from a decade prior. Solar power accounted for 24.8% of the country's electricity generation in 2024, up from less than 0.1% in 2010.

How much solar energy does Hungary produce?
Data from transmission system operator MAVIR shows that solar energy production in Hungary reached a new peak on June 13, producing enough energy to serve the country's domestic electricity requirements entirely from renewables. Hungary has deployed almost 8 GW of solar capacity, according to the country's deputy minister of energy, Gàbor Czepek.
What renewable sources are used in Hungary?
Another renewable source utilized in large amounts in Hungary is biomass. The NECP proposes a significant increase in solar PV capacity but no increase in wind power capacity. Wind power capacity expansion has been blocked by the government for more than ten years, a ban that is without reasonable geographic or economic reasoning [ 8, 9 ].
Should the Hungarian energy transition be based on wind and solar resources?
Wind and solar resources should receive more attention in the planning of the Hungarian energy transition. However, the expansion of these vRES needs to happen simultaneously with the restructuring of the whole system [ 27 ].
How is the Hungarian energy system derived?
The input data to the model is derived mainly from national energy balance and other freely available databases which makes the approach easy to adapt and replicate. The following conclusions and recommendations are relevant to the Hungarian energy system.
