Figure 3.15: Power generation of Hungary by source (historical)

Figure 3.16: Forecast of power generation in Hungary from Renewable Energy sources from 2009 to 2020 Source: Hungary’s Renewable Energy Utilization Action Plan

Figure 3.16 presents the forecasted evolution in the use of renewable sources for power generation in Hungary. The difference between the historical value in 2012 and the forecast value in 2020 is 2,604GWh which is more than 100%. If we compare this growth with historical power generation of Hungary by source (Figure 3.15) it results that, till 2020, the renewables may replace up to 7.6% of the total power generation in 2012.
