Climate and nature-protection action plan
…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 million smart meters. Over the next 10 years Hungary will install smart meters in 25% of Hungarian households.
7. Hungary plans to support wider availability and use of affordable electric cars. Electric vehicles will represent a significantly larger share of new car sales. Hungary has launched the Green Bus Program. The plan is that, within 10 years, half of the public buses will be environmentally friendly.
8. Hungary has… -

Energy and AI
Energy and AI The development and uptake of artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated in recent years – elevating the question of what widespread deployment of the technology will mean for the energy sector. There is no AI without energy – specifically electricity for data centres. At the same time, AI could transform how the energy industry operates if it is adopted at scale. However, until now, policy makers and other stakeholders have often lacked the tools to analyse both sides of this issue due to a lack of comprehensive data. This report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) aims to fill this…
