50 billion in subsidies to promote more efficient use of solar energy and heat pumps
The Jedlik Ányos Programme is a state energy subsidy programme aimed at improving the energy efficiency of companies and developing energy production and storage systems, with a particular focus on supporting the use of renewable technologies such as solar panels and heat pumps. We have already reported on several elements of the programme in recent months.
This morning, Gábor Czepek, State Secretary of the Ministry of Energy, presented a new HUF 50 billion budget available as part of the programme. „It is possible to store 1.7 per cent of the installed solar panel capacity in Hungary, so further programmes are needed to build energy storage facilities,” the State Secretary said on Thursday on Kossuth Radio's Good Morning, Hungary! programme.
This is the case with the support for businesses announced as part of the Ányos Jedlik Programme, with a budget of 50 billion forints.
He recalled that energy distributors, companies and, under the Solar Energy Plus Programme, families had already spent HUF 180 billion on the construction of energy storage facilities with a capacity of 150 megawatts.
The best growth rate on the continent
He said that while in 2010 there were only a few megawatts of solar power capacity in the country, there is now 8,000 megawatts of installed capacity. Hungary has seen the largest increase in installed solar energy capacity in Europe, with more than 300,000 families now generating their own electricity from solar panels, and a quarter of all 100-square-metre residential properties built since 2010 now have solar panels, he added.
We must think ahead in energy matters
He emphasised that solving the problem of energy storage is an important task for the 2030s, but in order for the country to become self-sufficient in electricity, it is necessary to start building capacity now.
He emphasised that energy and industrial policy is working to ensure that these capacities are available without any problems. Today, battery technology is the most rapidly deployable form of energy storage, and it is no coincidence that the government has built its industrial policy in such a way that investments aimed at energy storage have been made in Hungary, said the state secretary.
