In Hungary, electricity from renewable energy sources is supported mainly by a feed-in-tariff. Household-sized power plants can benefit from net metering. In general, subsidy programmes also promote the use of renewable energy sources in the electricity and heating sector. However, currently no such programme is available due to exhausted funds and termination of the application period. The main support scheme for the use of renewable energy in the transportation sector is a quota system supplemented by a reimbursement of excise duty. HUNGARY RENEWABLE INCENTIVES
Renewable energy plants shall be given priority grid connection and grid access. The costs for the connection of renewable energy plants to and the expansion of the grid are borne either by the plant operator or by the grid operator, depending on certain criteria.
There are a number of policies intending to promote the development, installation and use of RES installations. However, some policies are currently not available due to exhausted funds of the related subsidy programmes. HUNGARY RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

TRANSPORT – MOBILITY
Support schemes
In Hungary, the main support scheme for the promotion of renewable energy sources in the transport sector is a quota system. This support scheme obliges fuel retailers to ensure that biofuels and hydrogen make up a certain percentage of their yearly sales.
Further, a tax reimbursement applies to certain biofuels in case of engine development projects and vehicles used in the mining industry and in water management. The amount of biofuels used in these cases cannot be taken into account for quota fulfilment. HUNGARY RENEWABLE INCENTIVES
