Highlights

  • The country targets 90% of carbon neutral power generation by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050.
  • Coal power generation will be phased out by 2025.
  • National companies have a dominant position: MVM for electricity production and transmission and MOL for oil and gas.
  • E.ON is taking an increasing role in electricity distribution.
  • Carbon-free electricity reached 66% in 2022, of which 44% is nuclear.
  • Residential electricity and gas prices are around 50% lower than the EU averages.
  • Total energy consumption dropped by 6% in 2022.
  • The share of oil in total consumption has increased by 7 points since 2010.
  • Hungary is counting on nuclear (2.4 GW expansion of the Paks plant) to ensure its long-term electricity supply.
  • Electricity and gas interconnection projects are under development to diversify supply.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The State Secretariat for Energy and Climate Policy within the Ministry of Innovation and Technology oversees energy and climate policies.

    MEKH, the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority, is the independent body in charge of regulating the electricity and gas sectors.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    MOL (MOL New Europe Foundation 10%, Maecenas Universitatis Corvini Foundation 10%, Mathias Corvinus Collegium Fundation 10%)is the national oil company; its activities range from exploration-production to refining and distribution. MOL owns a 49% share in the Croatian oil company INA.

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    Gas production is decreasing rapidly and reached 1.5 bcm in 2022(4.9 bcm in 1990 and 2.9 bcm in 2010). This production represents around 1/4 of its gas needs. Gas production decreased by 11% in 2021.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Gasoline and diesel prices follow trends in international prices. They increased by +3% and +18%, respectively, in 2022.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita is 2.7 toe (13% below the EU average), including 4400 kWh of electricity (8% below the EU27 average) (2022).

    Total energy consumption decreased by 6% in 2022, after a 4% rebound in 2021. It decreased by 1.7%/year from 2018 to 2020 after a period of rapid growth between 2014 and 2018 (+4%/year).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Oil:

    Serbia and Hungary have agreed to build a 128 km-long pipeline from Novi Sad (Serbia) to Hungary in October 2022. The project, which may cost around €100m, would supply Serbia with Russian Urals crude via the Druzhba oil pipeline, as Belgrade's shipments via Croatia fall under EU sanctions.
