Hungary has extended the settlement deadline for households participating in a solar energy support program financed under the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) until 30 September 2026.
The extension applies to projects that have not yet been completed, including cases where solar installations were delayed due to administrative bottlenecks or other implementation-related issues affecting project execution timelines.
Rural Development Minister Viktória Lőrincz stated that the additional time is intended to support applicants whose installations are close to completion but were unable to meet the original deadline due to external delays.
The government also clarified that responsibility for delays caused by contractors or service providers will remain with those companies. In such cases, any recovery of advance payments will be directed at the service providers rather than at participating households, protecting end beneficiaries from financial penalties.
The program supports residential solar energy investments across Hungary and is funded through the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility, which is aimed at accelerating green transition investments and energy system modernization.
