Hungary continues to boost solar power generation. The country's solar market saw record growth in 2018 with 400 megawatts of new capacity, after new feed-in tariffs entered into force in the beginning of 2017. Hungarian energy regulators have issued 2,600 solar power plant permits, with a combined capacity of 2 gigawatts, for grid connection by 2020. Many parts of Hungary's southeastern region are prime development spots for solar plants, enjoying excellent levels of solar irradiation, flat terrain and good infrastructure.
