Session 1
Hear directly from the Ministry how the new government will shape the next chapter of Hungary's energy transition: grid access, storage support, hybrid frameworks, and the 12 GW / 1 GW agenda for 2030.
A data-led briefing on the operational reality that the new policy framework will have to address. We’ll hear how Hungary will actually be positioned in 2026, and what midday solar surplus is costing the operators who built the market
Dr. Pálma Szolnoki
Zero Carbon Hub
Following the Ministry's roadmap and the cost-of-midday data, the industry will respond: what does the new government actually need to deliver in its first 100 days, and what can the market do regardless of policy clarity?
Morning networking break
Session 2
Why attend: Real numbers. Not 'opportunities exist', a 12-month back-cast of stacked revenues from a HU asset, with the gross margin breakdown.
Péter Horváth
Dunamenti Power Plant
A cash flow model deep-dive from a leading aggregator. The contract structures, fee models, and line-item revenue breakdown of a 1 MW / 2 MWh asset operating in Hungary’s Power Exchange (HUPX) through 2025, including the negative-price hours.
Co-location is no longer a future trend in Hungary, but is the new standard that the structure is being built around. But the legal, regulatory, and commercial framework is currently being figured out in real deals, not in theory. The operators putting hybrid projects on the ground will walk us through what's actually being negotiated, what's hitting walls, and how the new government's stance is shaping the next 18 months.

Session 3
A bank's perspectives on negative hours: what changed in the lender model for Hungarian PV and hybrid assets between 2023 and 2026, and what financing looks like for the next wave of co-located projects.
A senior energy procurement voice from Mercedes-Benz Manufacturing Hungary takes the audience through what it takes to sign a long-term corporate PPA; what the Kecskemét plant actually needs; what's stopping deals from closing at scale; and what Hungary has to do to become the CEE PPA hub for the German automotive cluster.
During this panel, five experts will test the bankability bar across international financing institutions, commercial banks, infra funds, borrowers, and international comparisons. What's replicable from Renalfa, what's specific to it, and what should Hungary learn from the UK’s Cap-and-Floor and Italy’s MACSE market structures, as these countries are two years ahead on the same curve.

Afternoon networking break
Session 4
A senior independent voice from the Netherlands market, three years ahead of Hungary on the same curve, walks the audience through what's already happened, what worked, and what didn't. Not theory. Not analyst forecasting. The view from inside a European market that solved (and failed to solve) the problems Hungary is now confronting.
Jan Willem Zwang
Stratergy
The data session that closes the day. A 20-minute forecast of what a Hungarian solar MWh and a Hungarian BESS MWh will earn between 2026 and 2030, benchmarked against the markets two to four years ahead of Hungary on the same cannibalization curve. What Spain, the UK, Ireland, and Italy already know, and what Hungary should be doing differently because of it.
The day's closing panel. Five market leaders, one moderator, three predictions each. By the end of this panel, the audience will have learned about the Ministry's roadmap, the cost of midday, the hybridization playbook, the offtake question, the financing reality, and the 2027 capture-price forecast. This panel takes everything from the day and converts it into a position. Not "what might happen", what will happen, who's already moving on it, and what the audience should do on Monday morning.
