In 2022 MET installed a 4 MW/8 MWh demonstrator plant at the site at the Dunamenti Power Station in Százhalombatta, based on Tesla Megapack 2 batteries. The latest BESS plant has a current storage capacity that would be sufficient to supply the entire decorative and public lighting needs of Budapest for 4 hours. The supplier of the equipment is Huawei Technologies, the project’s main contractor is Forest-Vill Ltd.
“The application of battery energy storage systems is a key element on the road to energy transition, as they allow to increase the penetration of new renewable sources into the power grid” said Péter Kaderják, President of the Hungarian Battery Association, speaking at the official inauguration ceremony. “We must strive by all possible means to exploit Hungary’s renewable energy sources as extensively as possible, using well-established, cost-effective technologies. Therefore, the Hungarian Battery Association supports the efforts of the Hungarian energy policy, which deals with the green energy transition as a top priority.”
With its ongoing investments in BESS projects across Europe, such as the recent acquisition of the French battery storage operator and developer Comax in 2024, MET Group aims to address the increasing need of balancing technologies to support the energy transition.
The group is also expanding technologically, with significant investments in co-located storage facilities that are being developed alongside solar parks in several European countries.
