Energy fact sheet on Hungary
by Giovanni Cadioli and Ludovico Grandi
Abstract
Located in the middle of Europe, Hungary is a crossroads for Russian energy arteries reaching Western Europe. The production of oil and gas is moderately lower than the imports, while nuclear energy is by far the most important form of electricity generation, exclusively devoted to domestic consumption. Energy export levels are all negative and are quite telling in describing Hungarian energy dependence, especially on neighbouring Ukraine. Energy dependence on Russian gas through Ukraine showed its might during few major gas crises in the 2006/2009 period. The present fact sheet sheds some light on the principal energy issues and policies that affect Hungary domestically and internationally.
