The Hungarian government has allocated HUF 62 billion (EUR 158 million) for energy storage projects with an overall 440 MW in operating power. Hungarian authorities launched the tender for grid-scale batteries on January 15 and received offers until February 5. The winning bidders were selected a few days ago.
The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary’s power grid. Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe’s growing grid-scale energy transition.
GS Yuasa also produces automotive lithium-ion starter batteries, while Inzi Control also manufactures battery modules. Many of the significant suppliers of the battery industry in Hungary are located directly near the main car manufacturing plants.
Hungary isn’t alone in stocking up on battery backup as it charts its green energy path. In neighbouring Bulgaria, a massive 124 MW/496 MWh battery energy storage system went live in Lovech earlier this year.
Many of the significant suppliers of the battery industry in Hungary are located directly near the main car manufacturing plants. Since 2016, a total of HUF 1,903.8 billion (EUR 5.29 billion) and approximately 13,757 jobs have been created as a result of working capital investments in the battery industry.
The first network storage facility in Hungary was installed by E.On in 2018 followed shortly by Alteo with 3.92 MWh and ELMŰ (Innogy) with 6 MWh (6 MW + 8 MW capacity). Currently, the total capacity of the storage units applied in the primary Hungarian regulatory market is 28 MW.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
