The chart shows that nuclear energy remains Hungary's dominant source of power, consistently providing the largest share of electricity generation. In contrast, gas — which expanded rapidly in the early 2000s — has now been surpassed by solar, whose share has surged sharply since 2015.

Coal, once a significant contributor to Hungary's electricity mix, has continued its long-term decline. Its share has now fallen to just 6 percent.
In 2024, the four largest sources of electricity — nuclear, solar, gas, and coal — accounted for 92 percent of Hungary's total power production. The shift highlights Hungary's accelerating transition towards renewables, with solar energy at the centre of its changing energy landscape.
