Which Way is Electricity Flowing

A winter day in Hungary and Central Europe: a map of export and import flows based on Hungarian TSO MAVIR's actual data. Energy flows are Northeast/East to Southwest/West with a tiny inflow from Serbia. As a plants are aging, consumption growing and investment is lacking, Hungary is becoming more an d more reliant on imported electricity. During the economic crisis when industrial consumption is down the net import is negligible, but on the peak of Hungary's industrial potential it may reach 3o% of the market.
