Energy
The aim of energy management is to supply energy, vital to the society and the economy, to the different sectors of use. Energy management statistics include statistics on energy production and use, the energy balance, the security of supply, the energy market, energy trade, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources.

Hungary’s energy consumption rises to five-year record in first nine months of 2021
After a decline in January 2021, energy use went up in the next seven months – by between 2.6% and 18% compared to the same period of the previous year – as an effect of growing industrial production as well as more intensive road traffic and the colder spring. Partly owing to a decrease in the volume of industrial output, energy needs lessened by 1.7% in September. So Hungary’s energy consumption rose to a five-year record (806 PJ) in the first nine months of 2021 as a whole and was 3.7% higher than a year earlier.
Decline in domestic extraction of natural gas and coal in 1st half of 2021
40% of the sources used to cover energy needs came from domestic production and 60% from imports in the 1st half of 2021, similarly to the same period of the previous two years. The former increased by 2.6% and the latter was cut by 13% on an annual basis. The domestic extraction of natural gas and coal went down (by 11% and 13%, respectively), while the production of primary electricity, the mining of petroleum and the utilisation of other sources (renewables and waste) expanded.
