%• In relevant EU
Directive the Hungarian indicative target is 3,6% by 2010.
• A We have reached already (in 2005) this target, mainly with fuel change from coal to biomasse in some power stations.

Shares of different renewable sourcesShares of different renewable sources
• The dominant fuel is biomass, accounting to almost 90% of total RES contribution
• Biomass is followed by geothermal energy and communal waste.
• It is expected that wind
energy will increase in importance in the future when 330 MW of wind farms licensed in March 2006 are commissioned .

Data in 2005
Significance of various RES I.Significance of various RES I. Biomass • Hungary has a significant potential for sustainable
production of biomass, with 5 M hectares of productive farmland and 3 M hectares of forest.
• Since 2000 rapid utilisation of solid biomass in electricity generation: round-wood is co-fired in old coal-fired power stations, but with very low efficiency.
• Solid biomass is almost fully utilised, demand for wood used in electricity generation increased prices in market for wood.
• Further increase in supply is only possible by increased use of waste wood, or the introduction of ‘energy crops’.
Biomass for Transport • Share is still low, but increasing (by 2020 10%)• Reflecting the structure of agriculture, focus is on bio-ethanol
from cereal plant, and on bio-diesel from sunflower seeds and rapeseed.
• Hungary has surplus production of about 3 M tonnes of cereal (in a normal year), which can not be exported due to WTO and EU CAP Reform restrictions. Government expects that decreasing contributions of agriculture to food supply and exports will be compensated for by switching agricultural production to energy crops, by saving farmers’ jobs and preserving social and economic structures in rural areas.
• A number of new investments in bio-ethanol production are under way, the sector has a strong appeal to foreign investors. A large part of biofuel production is expected to be exported.
Significance of various RES II.Significance of various RES II.
Significance of various RES III.Significance of various RES III. Geothermal energy• Hungary has abundant resources of geothermal low-temperature
energy in the form of warm/hot water. Due to high salt content of water the brine must be reinjected to avoid environmental damage. This limits its potential.
Wind• So far a minor contributor to RES based production, but the support
regime has generated a strong investment interest in the last few years.
• Due to grid safety concern the regulator limited capacity and access for new wind installations to a total of 330 MW in the next few years.
• New licences will be permitted as the integration of weather–dependent RES into the grid is secured.
Hydro• Hungary is a flat country, with low available hydro resources.
Support of RES based electricity generation Support of RES based electricity generation
• A generous feed-in tariff has been in place since the Electricity Act 2001, with priority access to the grid. Feed-in tariffs are valid until 2010.
• A licence from the HEO is required to receive the feed-in tariff. • The volume of supported electricity and the duration of the feed-in
tariff in the licence is limited by the HEO, to avoid subsidy after the investment has been fully recovered.
• The feed-in tariff was set by Parliament at 8,21 euro cent, subject to be indexed yearly by CPI. Today it is 9,5 cent/kWh which is 80% higher than the average electricity wholesale price.
Support of biofuel for transport through Support of biofuel for transport through taxation taxation
• From 1 July 2007 a tax reduction to 0% excise tax applied for biofuels blended up to 4.4% of the volume of gasoline.
• From 1 January 2008 same tax exemption will apply to 4,4% of biodiesel blended into diesel.
• Fuel distribution companies not complying with the 4,4% requirement pay extra tax of HUF 8 per litre at the wholesale level.
Investment support for RESInvestment support for RES
• Direct investment support for RES is available through EEOP, financed from EU Structural Funds. Between 2007-2013 250Meuro is available for supporting RES projects.
• Under the II. National Development Plan sustainable solid biomass production forms will be supported, such as pellets and wood chips.
