Hungary to subsidize small-scale solar plants
The cabinet has decided to rely 50% on nuclear energy and 50% on renewable, in particular solar energy. The government will do everything it can to ensure that these solar parks are Hungarian-owned, Lázár said. The programme envisions 3,000 such solar parks and is aimed at farmers. There is a similar system in Austria and Germany, Lázár added.
Farmers will receive subsidies to build solar energy parks on their land, with one permit per farmer, and a discount-rate loan will also be made available to them. The plan calls for 0.5 MW solar units, which require about one hectare of land to build.
