The Hungarian government has launched a residential energy storage program with a budget of HUF 100 billion. Under the initiative, households can install 10 kW battery energy storage systems, with a non-refundable subsidy of HUF 2.5 million to support the purchase.


Yes and no. Such a distributed battery storage system is necessary, if you want to use renewables as main energy source - that would be a green green motivation to implement such a system. There is a potential olive green motivation, too - such a system hardens your energy infrastructure against falling missile debris, smoking accidents and other natural desaster. Well, and against broken gas pipelines - this might even be the main reason? And making money, of course.
