Hungary: Energy Country Profile

Hungary: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.

Hungarian Central Statistical Office

Hungary''s energy needs were lower each month from April 2022 than a year earlier, and decreased at rates higher than 10% from September 2022 to March 2023 – except for February. The use fell by 16% this March, partly owing to the lower industrial output then than in the same month of the previous year and to the milder-than-usual weather.

Energy in Hungary

Hungary is the EU country with the smallest forecast penetration of renewables of the electricity demand in 2020, namely only 11% (including biomass 6% and wind power 3%). The forecast includes 400 MW of new wind power capacity between 2010 and 2020. EWEA''s 2009 forecast expects Hungary to reach 1.2 GW of installed wind capacity in this time. [9]

Hungary

Hungary passed a new law in June 2020 that makes the 2050 net-zero emission objective a legal requirement. This is part of a larger shift in energy and climate policies in the country. In line with net zero ambitions, Hungary targets a low-carbon electricity mix of 90% by 2030, with new nuclear and renewables to play a major role.

Hungary is a member of the European Union and thus takes part in the EU strategy to increase its share of the renewable energy. The EU has adopted the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, which included a 20% renewable energy target by 2020 for the EU. By 2030 wind should produce in average 26-35% of the EU''s electricity and save Europe €56 billion a year in avoided fuel costs.

Hungary Aims to Have the World''s Fourth Largest Storage

By 2030, Hungary will have the fourth largest capacity in the world for storing green energy after China, the United States, and Germany, the Government Commissioner responsible for professional cooperation in economic strategy tasks announced at a press conference on Tuesday.

Official: Hungary to rank 4th by 2030 globally in green energy

Hungary is set to have the largest green energy storage capacity in the world by 2030, after China, the US and Germany, a government official said on Tuesday, also noting that its climate protection plan announced in 2020 set the goal of producing 90 percent of the country''s electricity from green, carbon dioxide-neutral sources by 2030.
