Climate and nature-protection action plan
…of the Mátra Power Plant will enable Hungary to significantly reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions.
5. One million trees will be planted every year–at least ten for every new-born baby. By 2030 forest cover will be increased to 27% of the area of the country.
6. In the next 10 years (between 2020 and 2030) a six-fold increase in Hungary’s solar energy production capacity is planned. By 2030 90% of energy generated in Hungary will be carbon-neutral. In order to make electricity consumption controllable, by 2030 Hungary will have installed at least 1… -
Energy Efficiency subsidies for public and local governmental buildings - KEOP-2015-5.7.0
The scheme KEOP-2015-5.7.0 provides fundings to renovating public buildings and implement energy efficiency measures. Between 2016 and 2020 fundings are provided by the two EU-Hungary co-financed programs: KEHOP and TOP. The TOP (Regional development Operational Programme) selection of projects is based on a multi-stage process, in which, a key element is produced by the county governments development plans. The KEHOP is managed by Ministry of National Development and the TOP is managed by the Prime Minister's Office.
In 2015, the KEOP-2015-5.7.0 (Building energy development of Public buildings measure… -
National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP)
…allow them to meet their 2020 renewable energy, energy efficiency and GHG cuts targets.
Hungary 2020 renewable energy targets:
Overall target: 14.65% of share of energy generated from renewable sources in gross final energy consumption;
Heating and cooling: 18.9% of heat consumption met by renewable sources;
Electricity: 10,9% of electricity demand met by electricity generated from renewable energy sources;
Transport: 10% of energy demand met by renewable energy sources;
In order to achieve above enlisted targets Hungary implements and runs number of programmes supporting deployment of renewable energies ficially, fiscally and also by creating appropriate legislation and… -
Obligatory dispatch and electricity purchase from renewable and waste generators (feed-in tariff)
Electricity act 2007 created legal basis for creation of feed-in tariff for renewable electricity. Decree No. 389/2007 on the obligatory dispatch and purchase of electricity generated from waste or from renewable energy sources introduced feed-in tariff in Hungary. The provisions of the Decree entered into force with the beginning of 2008. The support programme was last amended in 2014.
Feed-in tariff programme is the main support policy for deployment of renewables in Hungary.
Eligible technologies are solar PV, geothermal energy, biogas, hydropower, biomass and wind. However, onshore wind installations receive feed-in tariff level through calls… -
Strategy on Renewable Energy Sources 2007-2020
The Hungarian governments strategy on the increased use of renewable energy sources stems directly from its overall 2007-2020 Energy Policy. The Strategy is meant to be a precursor to Hungarys renewable energy sources plan, setting targets and providing an assessment of the development potential for various forms of renewable energy.
Targets:
The Strategy sets a target of 186.4 PJ from renewable energy by 2020, compared to 55 PJ in 2006.
The target is broken down by sector:
79.7 PJ (9470 GWh) in electricity production,
87.1 PJ in heat production and
19.6 PJ from biofuel within… -
Electricity Act 2001
The Electricity Act 2001 introduced feed-in tariff support mechanism for the electricity generation from renewable energy installations with capacity over 100 kW in Hungary.
The Feed-in tariff rate was fixed up to 2010 and was the same for all renewable energy technology types. The tariff was annually adjusted with inflation. The period time for the support was unspecified ultimately resulting with the eligibility period equal to the lifetime of the installation eligible. The tariff was to be paid by the main electricity producer (MVM) where a power plant is connected to the transmission network or by the local… -

Electricity 2026 Grids
Grids are emerging as a bottleneck for connecting supply, demand and storage A lack of grid capacity is emerging as a critical bottleneck in many regions, driving higher levels of congestion and slowing the deployment of new electricity generation, storage and demand. Grid connection queues have reached record levels worldwide. In response, this year’s report examines the range of measures that regulators and system operators are adopting to “move fast and connect things”: enabling more capacity to be integrated more quickly through regulatory reforms and deployment of technologies that can deliver rapid grid upgrades. Greater demand-side participation and…
