Hungary has 18 power plants in this atlas, with 6,291 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Paksi Atomerőmű (1,887 MW, nuclear; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are gas, solar and coal. Grid operators listed here include MAVIR. Electricity is regulated by MEKH. Renewables supplied 31.5% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Hungary
Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail
The Paks nuclear plant and solar supply most power, with large imports. HUPX runs the market; household prices are capped by the government.
Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.
What does “Liberalised market” mean?
Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.
