Frequently asked questions

How many records does this Hungary directory contain?

The directory contains 37 source records. Its capacity subset includes 35 after excluding 2 records with non-generating status labels. Missing status does not confirm operation. This is not a verified current national fleet count.

Which record has the highest listed capacity in this dataset?

Paksi Atomerőmű has the highest listed capacity in this subset: about 1,887 MW. Source dates and unit, station or complex scopes differ; this is not a verified current national ranking.

Which fuels are represented in these records?

Gas is the most frequent primary fuel label in the capacity subset (19 of 35 records). It contains 5 fuel types. Record counts are not electricity-generation shares.

What does the 2025 grid dataset show for Hungary?

The 2025 Ember / Our World in Data snapshot reports about 163 gCO₂/kWh and 75.3% low-carbon generation, rounded as displayed. These national estimates are separate from the plant records.
