Potential changes in the Hungarian feed-in tariff regime
Hungary’s renewable energy subsidy framework is entering a period of structural transition. The feed-in tariff regime (KÁT) requires changes due to pressure from the corporate side financing the subsidy and due to grid balancing issues.
Policy direction increasingly favours the premium system (METÁR), auctions, and market integration.
Essentially, Hungary is transitioning from subsidy-driven renewable deployment toward flexibility-driven system optimisation, where value increasingly shifts from standalone generation to balancing capacities and system services.
