Energy Supply
National resources
Hungary has some energy resources: coal and lignite, at high and increasing cost of extraction and hydrocarbons (in 2008, 20 Gm3 of reserves for gas and 2.7 Mt for oil), also at high exploration and production costs. In addition, Hungary also has geothermal resources (8000 drillings with an installed capacity of 350 MW). [ENERDATA]

Development of Primary Energy Demand per Capita in Hungary, as compared to the other countries in Central and Eastern Europe, the European Union 15 and Austria, 2006
The trend of steadily rising primary energy demand, which is visible in the EU and Austria, can up to now only be seen in Slovenia, and, covertly, in Hungary and Slovak Republic.
