That's a grossly misleading title.

Good to see this issue getting more coverage. There’s a particular philosophy behind Hungary’s energy transition as articulated in its National Energy and Climate Plan. Christian nationalism as the basis for climate action raises some interesting questions. energy.ec.europa.eu/system/files...

Absolute and complete bullshit. Solar installations are happening in spite of the government. Orbán state-captured all energy companies and hiked energy prices, and they no longer pay for electricity-uploads from civilian renewables, and they banned installing wind turbines in the whole country.

And we got roof-top solars because of the NER's price-hikes on electricity and gas prices.

With 7.8 GW of installed solar HU would need 20GWh+ or so of batteries, ideally sitting on the same balance sheet as the feed in tariff payer to reduce spot price volatility. Taking into account the reduced rebalancing cost and peak generation capacity requirement, it may be a sensible investment.
