  2. Words against reality • The Hungarian Energy Policy2008-2020 • Critical Assessment of Europe’s Energy Market 2008 A review of Central and Eastern Europe, Continental Trends and EU Legislation (www.agreenet.info)

  3. Efficiency “…energy efficiency and saving activities should be stimulated with a special focus given to energy use of buildings, transport and transformation of energy.” ---------------------------------- • EPBD sabotaged (2012) • Transport policy is still “under construction” • Loss of electricity on transmission is over 10%

  4. Efficiency “…elaborate a comprehensive, national energy efficiency strategy and national action plan and implement them” ------------------------- • Strategy non-existent • Infringement procedure • State subsidy for natural gas consumption is 8-times bigger than the support given for households sustainable energy investments

  5. District heating “Assess the experiences of subsidizing district heating consumers in order to ensure the competitiveness of the industry…” ---------------------- • Robin Hood tax • €5 per household per month

  6. Education “Incorporate the issue of rational use of energy into the national curricula…” ---------------------- Energia Klub has a comprehensive educational material on energy and climate and there are similar initiatives… no government effort seen so far

  7. Renewable energy “Keep tabs on …the legal framework of energy generated on the basis of renewable sources” ----------------------------- • Strange wording • Unreliable and unstable legal framework • Unsustainable investments (biomass)

  8. Summing up for CEE • Great potential on both EE and RES • Rhetoric has been learned • EU requirements are formally fulfilled • Low level of political commitment and real support (e.g. EPBD) • Lack of stable legal framework for RES • Missing institutional framework • Lack of data and statistics • Supply side oriented policy based on ever growing demand curve
