Microbusinesses in Hungary to become eligible for regulated electricity prices

Microbusinesses will become eligible for participation in the regulated electricity price scheme for households from January, Energy Minister Csaba Lantos said in a video message posted on social media on Tuesday.

Regulated electricity prices

Lantos noted that microbusinesses had been excluded from the scheme since August 2022, during the energy crisis.

Of the 860,000 microbusinesses in Hungary, 400,000 already pay regulated electricity prices because they are based in their owners’ homes. A further 120,000 pay market prices.
