Hungary's electricity sector leans heavily on the four-reactor Paks nuclear plant, which delivers around 47% of generation — among the highest nuclear shares in the EU. The Paks-2 expansion with two new VVER-1200 reactors, contracted with Rosatom in 2014, has been repeatedly delayed by sanctions and financing obstacles; first concrete is now targeted for 2025. MAVIR, the national TSO, operates the HU bidding zone and runs the HUPX day-ahead market.

Solar capacity exploded from under 1 GW in 2020 to over 6 GW by 2025, accounting for ~25% of summer midday generation; the country's flat plains and cheap rural land made deployment exceptionally fast. Wind has been administratively frozen since 2016.

Hungary remains a large net importer, especially in winter, drawing on Slovak nuclear and Austrian hydro via the Continental European synchronous grid.

Historical electricity prices

FAQ — Hungary

How is the electricity price determined?
Day-ahead prices in Hungary are auctioned each morning around 13:00 CEST on Nord Pool / EPEX. The cheapest mix of generation that meets demand wins; that price applies for the next 24 hours.
When is electricity cheapest?
Today's average wholesale price in Hungary is 52.4 Ft /kWh. Cheapest hours typically fall between 00:00–04:00 CEST and around midday on sunny / windy days.
Why is my electricity bill higher than the spot price?
The wholesale spot price you see here is one component. Your retail bill in Hungary also adds electricity tax, grid fees, VAT and a supplier markup — total roughly 30–60 % above wholesale.
How accurate is this data?
Source: ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the EU regulator's data feed. Updated every 10–20 minutes.
Are tomorrow's prices already known?
Tomorrow's day-ahead prices for Hungary appear on this page automatically once Nord Pool / EPEX closes the auction around 13:00 CEST each day.
