Energy efficiency since 1990
SOCIALIST HERITAGE
Energy policy of the socialist area = a huge amount of waste
Example of a Hungarian family living in a pre-fabricated block-house
V
Principles of the Energy Efficiency Action Programme in Hungary
To prove the environmental point of view in producing and using energy, in the future developments (Environmental Act in 1995)
To attract attention to the energy economy, and to increase the importance of the renewable energy (several strategies for energy savings, and increasing energy efficiency improvement)
To create a secure environment for the market (foundation of the Hungarian Energy Office in 1994, and privatisation of the sector)
V
1. The National Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Improvement Programme in 1995. (Major issues: least-cost planning, demand-side management, implementation of minimum standards for the insulation of new buildings, etc.)
2. Energy Saving Action Plan in 1996 (Focuses on the penetration of renewables, energy efficiency improvements – labelling and education, technological innovation.)
3. Energy Saving Credit Programme in 1996 (total investment spent on energy efficiency project: EUR 17.6 million. The ESCP focused on funding energy saving programmes at the municipial level, modernisation of the district heating systems.)

ENERGY EFFICIENCY
4. Hungarian Energy Policy Principles and the Business Model of the Energy Sector in 1999:
Following Hungarian and EU developments,
Privatisation of the sector,
Targeted to create a new energy efficiency policy for conversation
V
Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Improvement Action under the number 1107/1999.
- Duration of the program is 10 years.
- Minister of economy is responsible to coordinate
- All the goals were defined to obtain by 2010.
- Priorities of the strategy:
Reduction of energy intensity with 3,5% per year (annual growth of GDP 5% per and of energy consumption 1,5%)
Saving 75 PJ/year of primary energy sources
Increasing the renewable energy production from the present 28PJ/year to 50 PJ/year
V
ACTION PLAN – 15 FIELDS
1. Revealing the European funds to contribute in the declared development.
2. Raising the awareness in the society:
education in the school to create a basic knowledge
informations through consumer offices, experts, media and different types of brochures
use of the energy efficiency label on the products.
3. Research and Development tasks connected to energy conservation and increasing the use of renewables.
V
4. Developing a system of audits for energy loss in the manifacturing sector
5. Improving energy management system in the municipals
6. Least cost planning, consumer-friendly programmes
ACTION PLAN – 15 FIELDS
8. Decreasing the use of industrial energy
9. Modernisation of transport
V
12. Increasing the use of alternative facilities
13. Modernising energy use in the municipial sector for public lighting
14. Innovation of district-heating system
15. Increasing the use of biomass and geothermal energy / solar energy
V
EFFICIENCY MEASUREMENT
Allocation of EUR 4 M for the first year. For next years EUR 20 M
Széchenyi Plan, since 2000 addressed EUR 1,5 M for the investments of renewables
Public Sector Energy Efficiency Programme aims to improve the energy efficiency in the public sector (municipal buildings, schools, hospitals, etc.) The budget of the programme approx. EUR 4,2 M
National Energy Saving Programme was established to replace Széchenyi Plan.
Renewables also for municipalities and residentials.
Aims to develop the technology of the buildings, giving financial contribution to municipalities and private owners.
In 2003 over 5000 application was made.
V
Initial steps are made toward the EU standards
Emmissions: Hungary is below the quota according to Kyoto Protocol
Rationalisation of the energy consumption has improved during
the last 15 years: but this is due to the structural change in the industry
Lot of reserves in residential consumption: ‘Panel+ Programme’
V
gross energy consumption: 3,5-4%
The share of renewables in gross electricity consumption: 0,9%
The aim for 2010: 3,6%
V
(good energy plans, energy corps)
Geothermical energy:
Great reserves but technological problems
Only 300 out of 3000 thermal resources are in use
