Electricity consumption breaks new record in Hungary
Hungary's electricity consumption record has been broken twice in the last week: On Wednesday it reached 6565 megawatts, surpassed by 6602 megawatts on Thursday, Mavir Zrt general manager András Vinkovits told Napi Gazdaság.
After the decrease in Hungary's electricity consumption in the nineties, it is now growing consistently. Vinkovits said that the company is prepared for the growing need of electricity, and covers extra demand with imported energy. Most electricity is consumed in December, due to the extra consumption of Christmas lights.
