Issues and solutions relating to Hungary's electricity system
The great majority of Hungarian electricity generating system's capacity is obsolete and needs to be replaced. Current production is dominated by nuclear power and coal, whilst depending heavily on imported electricity to cover demand. Official plans for the future envisage scenarios also greatly dependent on fossil fuels and/or imported electricity. Currently, there are no specific plans for the largescale introduction of renewable energy sources or energy independence. This paper shows that it is possible with no significant change in structure - to develop an electricity power system for the country using a significant amount (25-30%) of renewable sources, which is less dependent on non-domestic sources for generation and which is more environment friendly than the official, forecast scenarios.
