Hungary is taking a monumental step towards energy independence and sustainability with the construction of its largest energy storage facility in Szolnok
Parliamentary State Secretary at the Ministry of Energy Gábor Czepek announced the project in a video shared on the Ministry’s Facebook page on Saturday
Czepek emphasized the critical role of energy storage in ensuring energy sovereignty
which is weather-dependent and not always generated when needed,’ he explained
Hungary has launched multiple initiatives to boost energy storage
A total of 260 billion forints has been allocated to support these projects
with nearly 100 billion forints earmarked for industrial storage facilities and 160 billion for enterprises and households
Magyarország legnagyobb energiatárolója épül Szolnokon Két támogatási program összesen közel 100 milliárd forinttal ösztönzi a hálózati energiatárolók létesítését több mint 60 helyszínen
The state secretary highlighted Hungary’s progress in greening its energy sector
noting that the country’s solar power capacity has doubled since 2022
Storage infrastructure is also advancing rapidly
with plans to double the current capacity next year and increase it twentyfold by 2026
The ultimate goal is to achieve at least one gigawatt of storage capacity by 2030
which would enhance Hungary’s ability to manage renewable energy and ensure a cleaner
Czepek Gábor: Magyarország eddigi legnagyobb energiatárolója épül Szolnokon
A létesítmény berendezéseit ezen a héten több mint harminc kamion…
‘The Szolnok project contributes to making Hungary’s energy supply cleaner
This is essential for our daily well-being and the competitiveness of our economy,’ Czepek stated
The Ministry of Energy revealed that Hungary has entered a new era of electricity network upgrades
Under a programme launched last year to integrate storage into the electricity grid
government funding of 33 billion forints has enabled the installation of 38 megawatts of storage across 13 locations
These developments are set to be completed by the summer of 2025
spearheaded by transmission system operator MAVIR
the 20-megawatt facility will be the country’s largest energy storage site upon completion
launched in February 2023 with a 62 billion forint budget
aims to support industrial-scale storage development
This initiative will lead to the installation of approximately 50 industrial energy storage units
covering a combined capacity of 440 megawatts
Supported organizations must complete these projects
Some of these new facilities are expected to exceed the capacity of the Szolnok project
marking an unprecedented expansion of Hungary’s energy storage capabilities
Hungary’s ambitious energy storage plans reflect its commitment to a sustainable energy transition
With these developments the country is not only enhancing its energy resilience but also positioning itself as a leader in the integration of renewable energy in Central Europe
The Budapest Times
Secretary of State for Energy Gábor Czepek emphasised the importance of storage capacities for the country’s energy sovereignty
Hungary is focusing primarily on solar energy
the weather-dependent production of which poses a particular challenge
The country’s total PV capacity has doubled since 2022
but the storage sector is also on the rise
Energy storage capacities will double over the next year
with the aim of providing at least 1 GW of storage capacity by 2030
With public funding totalling 33 billion forints (approx
storage facilities with a total capacity of 38 MW will be installed at 13 locations
These development projects should be completed by the summer of 2025
the transmission system operator MAVIR Zrt
is building a 20 MW storage facility in Szolnok with a subsidy of HUF 15 billion
Another tender for more electricity storage capacities was launched in February of this year and has a budget of 62 billion forints
The aim is to build around 50 additional industrial energy storage facilities with a combined capacity of 440 MW
Companies that are awarded the contract must realise the installation and connection of the new facilities to the electricity grid by spring 2026 at the latest
Several of the projects in the tender will involve the installation of plants that exceed the capacity of the Szolnok plant

OSC managed to save the Euro Cup final to a penalty shootout but there Viktor Nagy came up with three straight saves and that secured the trophy for Szolnok
This was the club’s first victory at the European stage since they won the Champions League in 2017
2nd leg: OSC Budapest (HUN) v Szolnoki Dozsa (HUN) 11-8
nothing promised that OSC could endanger Szolnok’s march to the trophy as the visitors
enjoying a three-goal advantage from the first leg
At the beginning they were leading though it stood equal at the end of each of the first three periods (2-2
The hosts could take the lead three times but their rivals could immediately reply by netting a man-up on each occasion
At 6-7 Szolnok could have closed down the match but missed a man-up and OSC scored at the other end for 7-7
with little more than 4 minutes remaining it was still 8-8
Then Marton Toth netted a man-up after a time-out and with 3:09 to go Balazs Erdelyi scored his 5th and at 10-8 OSC got close for the first time
They killed Szolnok’s next 6 on 5 and Balazs Harai had some space for the first time in the centre and he used that for 11-8 – with 1:44 on the clock it was all equal in aggregate
Szolnok could not even shoot from its last man-up and OSC had another possession and Harai had another shot
but Viktor Nagy saved that so the decision was left to the penalties
that last save was a preview what was coming in the shootout: Nagy
came up big with three saves in a row while his teammates buried the shots
Thus it ended after three rounds and Szolnok could celebrate its first-ever Euro Cup win
is the lucky city for them as they claimed their Champions League trophy also in the capital in 2017
That time they triumphed in the Duna Arena
where the European Aquatics Championships are set to start from Monday – the culmination is of the European water polo club season is due in the first weekend of June when the Champions League Final Eight will be staged in Belgrade
the players worked like hell since July and now here we are
if we went two up that would have ended the match
Instead it was left to the penalties but I don’t agree with those who say that is all about luck
you have to be ready mentally and Viktor Nagy did a great job in all sense.”
OSC “We can talk about a lot of things if we wish to find out what made the difference
a bad pass… It was a final of eight periods so we can also recall the last minute of the first leg when we trailed by only one goal but at the end we lost by three – I guess
it would have been a different match today if it starts from a single-goal difference
I have to be very satisfied as this team has come here after covering a very long way
I don’t think many people would have said last summer that this team could reach such level by this time
a recognisable playing style and that’s a great achievement in my opinion.”
Szolnok “I wanted this trophy so badly so I had only one option
to stop those penalties… I think it was a great game
it was great to see two Hungarian team reaching the final
I think we lost a bit of our sharpness in the fourth and that’s why we had to decide this in the shootout.”

contributes to supporting local economy and promoting the adoption of healthy eating habits
so many customs’ also reflects that ‘our tradition is an art with endless variations
which is our everyday necessity.’ It is also necessary for future generations to familiarize themselves with these values so that they do not forget about the traditions of the Carpathian Basin and the excellent products of local small-scale producers in the multicultural world of gastronomy
The noble aim of the competition is to promote the diversity and richness of our gastronomy through culinary wonders and at the same time strengthen our national cohesion
Katalin Balatoni noted that through promotional work
these dishes will not only appear on the menus of special restaurants but also in the everyday life
the practitioners of Hungarian cuisine continuously prove the enduring value of our domestic products
whether it be in the international arena or in the intimate hospitality of a quiet village inn
When asked why our excellent chefs’ cooking competitions might be the most suitable forum for this purpose

but not because of what I saw in passing with the town centre
Even so I enjoyed the peace and quiet by the unruffled River Tisza
the thought of trying to conjure up anything at this time
considering much tourism is still under wraps
That was until after I saw the main sights
which consist of the stand-offish Mayfly Bridge
the fanciful Baroque Roman Catholic Church
the architecturally elegant Szegő Gábor primary school and the contrasting Calvinist church
which was as much as I could hope for on that particular chilly day
The Aviation Museum and the splendid main Damjanich János town museum are unthinkable at present
there is even an exclusive beer museum in Szolnok but it is also “time
Much else still remains redundant in the pandemic
all else relating to graceful walking and checking out the local scenery in this pleasant
quiescent place was as easy going as if I was in Szentendre
And then the most unexpected thing happened
Suddenly a local bus with “Tallinn” highlighted on a strong
Thinking I may be ill and suffering from hallucinations
I went into brief decline over this bizarre and unexpected matter
What made this more remarkable is that my family and I were in Estonia last summer
Thus recalling anything relating to “Tallinn” is still fresh in our minds
To see such a bus destined was all too bewildering
I felt concerned for my state of mind and maybe I should consult a doctor
But after sitting down briefly to regain my senses
Although relieved that this was no mirage or coincidence after all
suddenly I perked up and became intrigued by this remarkable finding
The first thing I did was to approach the nearest bus stop and read its timetable
Finally all became clear: it was not just “Tallinn” in itself as assumed but “Tallinn Városrész”
meaning “Tallinn Town Reserve,” and clearly this was a nearby suburb
Tallinn or no Tallinn I had to go there regardless of outcome
and passed road signs that reiterated I had not gone crazy
what else is there to do during the plague and off-peak tourist season when there is nowhere indoors
Eventually I arrived at this mysterious end stop within the tower-block district of the Szolnok suburbs
There was not a sense of Estonian life or culture anywhere
Certainly there was little to celebrate but at least this gave me something to work on when back home
My Hungarian family concluded that this was neither surprising or a big deal
Apparently during Soviet times Szolnok was Tallinn’s sister city
Szolnok is now paired off with another Estonian town called Rakvere in the east of the country
to round off with some cheer and less embarrassment
I discover that there is a public transport stop in the outskirts of Tallinn called “Szolnok”
there is not much difference between Szolnok in Tallinn and Tallinn in Szolnok
There is one redeeming feature within the Szolnok archive files
closed down more than 20 years ago and remains a distant memory
There must be other nondescript tower-block locales in Hungary with equally extraordinary place names
representing far-off landmarks in the suburbs
These may be regardless of what’s in common with either places
other than being “looped” into the Soviet sphere themselves
In Szeged there is another “unexpectance” among a tower-block neighbourhood called Odessa
which lacks any of the grandness of the imperial and far-off Black Sea city
Certainly these premises were built during those times
It is hard to imagine these districts were going to be called London
Paris or New York by the authorities during that repressive era
lesser-known Szolnok sits at the heart of the Alföldi
Only 100 kilometres south-east from Budapest
There is an alluring downtown centre atmosphere with much to offer
noting the delightful retro-esque train station whilst en-route to Transylvania
It still is an important cultural and economic crossroads and has been for centuries
the resourceful river city provides plenty: boating
I really look forward to checking out the Tabán folklore house
which comes with exploring the artistic Tabán district
locally served fish soup and various riverside promenades and pursuits
Szolnok’s most exclusive event relates to the Mayfly Festival each June
as well as the splendour of the River Tisza
This would make a great day out for the family in this high
The mayfly is a symbol of the city and is commemorated by the central pedestrian bridge
To get to Szolnok is either a drive along the busy Number 4 airport road or I advise to take the train
which leaves from both Keleti and Nyugati stations roughly every hour and takes a little over one hour to arrive
A bus ride or 15-minute walk from the station will take you to the centre
From there it’s easy to orientate oneself around this immediate area and riverside to all else
Certainly I shall return and will anticipate working on a more promising tourist article when it comes to next time

Pest increasingly became a commercial centre
and this gradually strengthened during the reform era
the transport capacities that had been available up until then - namely the ships - became less and less sufficient
steamboats had been regularly plying the Danube for nearly a decade
The locomotive named Nádor (the István locomotive was also similar) (Photo: Wikipedia)
The important domestic trade routes were determined by law
and the 25th Act of 1836 precisely determined where the railways should go:
From Pest to Vienna to the Austrian border; 2
From Pest to the edge of Moravia and Silesia; 5
and from the borders of Austria on the one hand to the Hungarian sea coast
From Vienna and from the borders of Austria through Hungary to Krakow; 10
From Miskolc towards Galicia and Russia; 13
The first direction was therefore the Pest-Vienna route
but several important planned railways led to the east
two groups of capitalists planned to build railway lines
one of which was led by Viennese banker György Sina
who was supported in many other investments by his business partner István Széchenyi
as the Parliament granted the right to another interest group
the Hungarian Central Railway (Magyar Középponti Vasút)
a company led by the Pest banker Móric Ullmann
the Hungarian Central Railway was the first to start building the line leading to Vienna
the first stage of which was the completed railway line to Vác
they also started working on the railway line leading east to Szolnok
The station building in Pest (Source: FSZEK
The line started from the same station in Pest as the one to Vác
the Pest city leaders requested that the Szolnok railway departs from a different station
because they were afraid that if the trains depart from the same station in different directions
so there was no need to build another station
which was partly on the site of the current Western (Nyugati) railway station (although
the building reached as far as today's Jókai Street)
Palatine Stephen on a watercolour by Josef Bekel
The opening ceremony was also connected with another event that filled the nation with hope
as the opening of the railway was the first public appearance of the new royal governor
Archduke Stephen The 5 September 1847 issue of the Nemzeti Ujság wrote about this:
"The first appearance of the Imperial Royal Archduke Stephen
made the ceremony of the opening of the Hungarian central railway line from Pest to Szolnok grand and bright
and the joy of every patriot swelled high when the popular son of our country
is in many respects the opening of a new and more beautiful future..."
Archduke Stephen was the son of the Hungarians' beloved palatine
the nation saw the continuation of the work which was represented by Archduke Joseph's nearly 50-year palatineship
he was appointed Palatine only in the autumn of 1847 by the Parliament
The opening was described in the already quoted article as follows:
"Early in the morning on the day of the railway line's opening
an army of countless carriages drove across Váci Road towards the railway station
The company distributed more than 700 invitation tickets
making sure that the most dignified men of all ranks and positions were present at this national celebration
out of sincere respect and reverence for the dignity of the opening and the high personage of the present royal governor
were mostly dressed in traditional Hungarian attire
The departure of the train was scheduled for 8 o'clock
with the officers of the Budapest civil horse guard riding in front of him
and after him the officers of the German civil cavalry of Pest
that punctuality and orderliness are the keys to the success of all great enterprises and the only condition for their existence..."
the 16-car train could only leave at quarter past 8 with the 700 invited passengers
The train was pulled by the locomotive "István"
"Monor" was running a few hundred meters in front of it
(It is still customary today for special trains

this railway had a different important role
this line helped the Holy Crown and the Hungarian government to escape in time from the advancing Austrian troops

A katasztrófavédelem csütörtöki közleményében jelentette
hogy délelőtt kigyulladt egy hatvan négyzetméteres lakóépület egyik szobája a kunhegyesi Kürt utcában – írja az MTI
A tűz keletkezésének időpontjában egy ember tartózkodott az épületben
őt a tűzoltók kiérkezése előtt a szomszédok kimentették az égő szobából
de az életét már nem lehetett megmenteni – áll a közleményben
A tűzzel érintett helyiségben egy villanyrezsó üzemelt
A tűz keletkezésének körülményeit a katasztrófavédelem tűzvizsgálati eljárás során tárja fel
hogy a lakás- és egyéb ingatlantüzek főbb kiváltó okai között a nyílt láng használata
a meghibásodott fűtőeszközök és az elektromos zárlat szerepel kiemelt helyen
A mostanihoz hasonló tragédiák elkerülhetőek füstérzékelő használatával: az eszköz jelzése után még van esély cselekedni vagy az épületből kimenekülni
Úgy felrúgta az egyik kisfiút az őt kísérő férfi a szolnoki kalandparkban, hogy a gyerek a levegőben megpördülve a fejére esett, utána pedig a földön fekve maradt. Az RTL úgy tudja
hogy a gyerek nem akart felmászni a kalandpark mászórészére
A felkavaró videót a Szolnoki Városüzemeltetési Kft
az őt bántalmazó férfi pedig ennek a csoportnak az egyik kísérője volt
A helyi dolgozók nem látták a bántalmazást
hogy a környéken álló gyerekek hirtelen rendkívül zaklatottak lettek
tájékoztatása szerint a kisfiú azóta már jól van
az Országos Mentőszolgálat azt közölte a hírügynökséggel
így feltehetően nem volt indokolt a mentők értesítése
Az RTL megkereste a Szolnoki Rendőrkapitányságot
hogy nyomozást folytat garázdaság vétségének gyanúja miatt ismeretlen tettes ellen
A nyomozás érdekeire tekintettel azonban egyéb információt a rendőrség nem ad
elkérték az üzemeltetőtől az érkező csoportok listáját
így viszonylag könnyen azonosítani lehetett az elkövetőt
Az illető kilétére egy helyi Facebook-csoportban indult találgatás
Az incidens a szolnoki kalandpark munkatársait is mélyen felháborította
hogy az egyik vidéki csapat látogatása ilyen durva nyomot hagy bennünk
A gyerekekkel érkező felügyelő viselkedése nem elfogadható semmilyen körülmények között
A gyermekbántalmazás minden formáját elítéljük
A Blikk információ szerint az agresszív férfit
aki egyébként küzdősportedző 2020-ban „Bonis Bona – A nemzet tehetségeiért” Életműdíjjal tüntették ki
aki akkor még család- és ifjúságügyért felelős államtitkár volt
Az állami díj azoknak a tehetséggondozó szakembereknek adható
kiemelkedő és eredményes munkát végeztek a versenyfelkészítés terén
illetve módszertanilag kimagasló színvonalú tehetséggondozó
tehetségfejlesztő vagy tehetségsegítő tevékenységet folytatnak
majd közleményét az egyesülete honlapján is közzétette
azonban azóta mindkét platformot letörölte
hogy az igazságszolgáltatás munkáját támogassam és csak remélni tudom
hogy nem okoztam lelki sérülést a kisfiúnak
akitől a helyszínen bocsánatot kértem és minden tettemmel igyekeztem jóvá tenni a jóvátehetetlent
valamint minden tisztségéről és pozíciójáról lemondott
amelyeket különféle szervezetekben és egyesületekben töltött be
hogy a családját és kollégáit kíméljék meg a méltatlan támadásoktól
Személyesen az Önhöz legközelebbi Áldozatsegítő Központban kérhet segítséget, az Áldozatsegítő Központok címlistája itt található: http://vansegitseg.im.gov.hu

The outrageous child abuse case happened in a Szolnok adventure park where an adult karate sensei kicked a small kid since he did not want to go to the park’s climbing section
Later he even poured a flask of water on him and asked whether he was a girl
The humiliation was so “effective” that the boy did not even tell his mother what happened
is a 3rd degree black belt karate sensei and the leader of a local karate sports club
The kid is only eight years old and did not tell his mother
who learned about the revolting case from the Hungarian media
That is because the video of the horrific events went viral already, having accumulated more than 367 thousand views. The little child’s mother said his son has not taken part in karate training ever. He only went to a summer camp, where Tibor A. worked as a supervisor, Mandiner.hu wrote
so he deserved the “punishment”
but the outrageous kick caused great spiritual damage
the boy fell on his head and could not move for seconds
did not help him at all while the other kids just stared at what happened
returned later with a flask of water and poured it on him
humiliating the 8-year-old and asking whether he was a girl
The perpetrator may receive years in prison
The abuse against a child caught on camera at an adventure park in Szolnok
unbearable and cries for consequences”
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview on public radio on Friday
Referring to a police investigation of a report filed by park personnel who said an adult accompanying a group of children to the park had kicked one of the children
Orban said the organisers of summer camps were responsible for the children parents had placed into their care
“They have pledged to take care of them and to make sure they spend their time meaningfully,” he added
“It is the government’s job to say that those who can’t live up to that responsibility — and they clearly couldn’t in this case — should not be allowed to organise camps … that must be enforced,” he said
Summer camps cannot have adults abusing children

are becoming friends after supper and a good conversation or dance
Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County lies in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain rich in natural wonders
The city is probably most known for the river
But there are much more reasons to visit Szolnok 🙂
The woody parkland is the lung of the city and the home of sport and recreational institutions
Falusiturizmus.hu believes that having such a huge green zone in the heart of the city as the Verseghy Park is quite a unique spectacle

which are most common in plant-breeder settlements
It’s a real curiosity to have so many of them at a public place
It is one of the biggest free cultural cavalcades in Central Europe
which traditionally celebrates the magical natural attraction of River Tisza
The unique spectacle is made even more colourful with diverse programmes
The festival will be held between the 13th and 17th of June this year
The 444 metre long Mayfly Bridge (Tiszavirág-híd) is the emblematic building of Szolnok
which is the longest pedestrian bridge in Central Europe

If you want to try this authentic dish or other fish courses
visit the Fish Tavern at the corner of Damjanich Street
