In absolute terms, the production of electricity from renewable energy sources increased by almost 5% from 2020 to 2021.
This winter continues to be fairly mild in Europe, which means that the gas shortages that many had predicted as a worst-case scenario have been avoided. The unusual weather has resulted in favourable gas storage figures, so Europe can look forward to next winter in a much more favourable position, as was also priced in today on the Dutch gas exchange, where gas prices fell sharply this morning.
The President of the Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority (MEKH) has issued a decree extending the deadline for the implementation of power plants under preparation to receive renewable energy production subsidies.
