During the negotiations with the European Union in 2001, Hungary undertook to at least double the proportion of produced renewable energy in its total energy consumption from 3.6 percent by 2010, and to raise the proportion of electricity consumption from 1 percent to at least 3.6 percent. The country already met this ratio - which is one of the most modest commitments in the entire EU - in 2005, and the share of green energy in electricity and total energy production already exceeded 5 percent in 2005, but at the same time this was largely accounted for by forest trees. we achieved it by burning it in low-efficiency thermal power plants, which cannot be a long-term solution. According to the Renewable Energy Strategy of Hungary prepared by the government in parallel with NS, by 2020 the weight of alternative energy production within the total energy consumption will be a maximum of 16 percent, and that of green energy within the electricity consumption will be a maximum of 18 percent.
