The Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (HEPURA) has launched the nation’s fifth auction for procuring renewable energy generation capacity.

The regulator expects to contract around 864 GWh of renewable energy in the procurement exercise, of which 144 GWh should be contracted from renewable energy plants ranging in size from 5 to 20 MW and around 720 GWh from facilities with a capacity between 20 and 50 MW.

Bids will have to be submitted between March 25 and March 28. The auction is part of the METAR-KÁT renewables incentive program introduced by the Hungarian government in 2017.
