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 falls in October 2022
The energy use in Hungary was varied in the first ten months of 2022 compared to the same periods a year earlier: the energy needs increased in January and March, partly owing to the colder weather, and were reduced in the remaining months. The largest fall (of 18%) in primary energy use was recorded for October, which was the most significant decrease in the last five years. Lower uses of petroleum and petroleum derivatives as well as natural gas were measured for October.
Domestic electricity consumption hit a record high in 2021
The dynamic growth of domestic electricity consumption in 2020 has come to a halt due to pandemic restrictions and plant shutdowns. In 2021, however, domestic consumption rose to an all-time high of 43.9 billion kWh, while exports and low-weighted power plant self-consumption and grid losses declined compared to a year earlier. Domestic generation accounted for 64% of consumption and imports for 36%.
