Hungarian natural gas consumption plummeted compared to previous years
Gas consumption in Hungary reached 4.4 TWh in September, falling by 9 percent from the same period a year earlier, a monthly report by the Hungarian Energy and Public Utilities Regulatory Office (MEKH) said on Monday.
Domestic natural gas consumption in September was 4.4 terawatt hours (TWh), down 9 percent year-on-year, with peak day consumption at 197 gigawatt hours (GWh), the lowest since 2016.
MEKH has data on changes in the structure of consumption for August, showing that consumption in the residential segment of the universal service fell by 18 percent, the non-residential segment by 25 percent and power plant consumption by 3 percent compared to the previous year.
Consumption in the other category, which represents less temperature-dependent industrial use, fell by 37 percent, which can be seen as a demand-reducing effect of high prices, the energy agency said.
