Swiss-based energy company MET Group has officially inaugurated Hungary's largest standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) at its Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, located close to Budapest. With this latest BESS plant, which went into operation, MET Group and the Dunamenti Power Station are further strengthening their. . Hungary's largest operating standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) has been inaugurated today: MET Group put into operation a battery electricity storage plant with total nominal power output of 40 MW and storage capacity of 80 MWh (2-hour cycle). Located near Budapest at the Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, the 40 MW / 80 MWh facility marks a crucial development in Hungary's. . Hungary joins its neighbours in scaling up grid-scale battery storage, installing the country's largest BESS to date. The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary's power grid.

Energy storage mitigates renewable energy curtailment by absorbing excess electricity generated during periods of high renewable output and low demand or grid constraints, then releasing it when demand is higher or grid capacity is available. . As the penetration of variable renewable energy increases, curtailment of solar PV generation will only increase. Since curtailment will almost always be cheaper than investing in new transmission capacity or new grid-scale storage, curtailed energy should be rewarded, so that PV investment. . curtailment is emerging as a common challenge facing a growing number of power systems. At its core, curtailment is a symptom of an insuficiently flexible power system. This reduces the need to limit renewable generation. .
