Reducere fără precedent a consumului de electricitate în Ungaria. Populația a pus umărul, deși subvențiile nu o motivau să facă asta
Hungary has seen unprecedented reductions in electricity consumption as citizens and companies respond to government calls amid a severe heatwave and energy crisis. The Danube's low water levels have forced the closure of the country's nuclear power plant, leading to a significant energy supply challenge. Prime Minister Peter Magyar praised voluntary reductions of 600-700 MW daily, equivalent to turning off about one million air conditioners. Despite previous energy subsidies, households are now actively conserving energy. The OECD warns of increasing economic costs due to climate-related events, indicating Hungary may face severe future impacts from flooding and droughts.
