Hungary — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 57 energy assets in Hungary across 9 layers — the 82nd-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 24 power plants, 10 pipelines and 9 interconnectors. Operating generation capacity is 6.2 GW, led by gas at 39%. Refining capacity is about 165 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are FGSZ (9), MVM Balance Zrt (4) and MVM Zrt (4), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Hungary's mapped assets in service predate 2001 (median commissioning year of the 28 with a known date), 5 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Beremend Cement Plant, dating from 1910. 11 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Paks nuclear power plant (2.5 GW).
