Hungary has just opened one of Central Europe's largest energy tenders: over CHF 1.25 billion (HUF 500 billion) in non-repayable EU funding to modernise its electricity grid and roll out smart meters nationwide by 2030. The goal is ambitious – expanding grid capacity by 50 %, connecting more than 4,800 MW of new renewable generation, and equipping hundreds of thousands of households and businesses with smart metering infrastructure.
For Swiss suppliers, this is a rare window of opportunity. While only Hungarian DSOs and the transmission system operator MAVIR can apply for the funds, they will need proven international partners to deliver the technology, engineering and services behind the scenes. Switzerland's strengths – smart meters, medium- and high-voltage equipment, grid automation, DERMS and SCADA software, cables, and grid-integration consulting – match Hungary's needs almost one-to-one.
