Below we review the main results of our long term forecast for national energy use. Future energy consumption is an essential issue from the perspective of energy producing companies, but also with regard to the fulfilment of the EU commitments of Hungary. By 2020 Hungary has to supply 13% of its gross energy use from renewable sources, while also achieving a 20% reduction in energy use. These percentage targets imply that the measures necessary to attain these goals have to be tailored to the anticipated level of energy use of the country.
