The aim of the study is an in-depth analysis of the „nuclear-coal-green” scenario found in Hungary’s Energy Strategy. The Power Plant Development Action Plan (EFCsT) background study has two goals: on one hand, to carry out a detailed analysis of the preferred scenario in a regional context; and on the other, to establish a set of indicators which – regarding power plant developments in the forthcoming years – could help policy-makers track the main tendencies and realize in time whether power plant development is set to diverge substantially from the desired target scenario.
