MINISTRY: HUNGARY SOLAR POWER OUTPUT HITS RECORD HIGH

 

Output of Hungary’s industrial-scale solar parks with a capacity of over 50 kW reached a record 3,242 MW last Friday in the quarter hour between 1pm and 1.15pm, the energy ministry said on Facebook. Citing data from state-owned transmission system operator Mavir, the ministry said that, including household solar panels, Hungary’s solar power output exceeded the 2030 target output of 6,000 MW as early as February this year, and was now approaching 6,800 MW. By the end of August, there were 1,134 quarter hours in which solar power output exceeded last year’s high of 2,731 MW, the ministry said.
