The cheapest and most expensive days on record
Across 3,699 days of records for Hungary, going back to 22 September 2016, the cheapest day averaged €-19.90/MWh on 26 April 2026 and the most expensive €748.97/MWh on 30 August 2022 — €768.87 apart.
How prices have changed over a year
Over the last 30 days Hungary averaged €269.68/MWh. The same 30 days a year earlier averaged €123.35/MWh — €146.33 more.
The comparison is against the same weeks a year earlier rather than the previous month, because electricity is seasonal: measuring September against August would measure the calendar rather than the market.
About this market
Hungary is the most expensive market in central Europe on our numbers, averaging €111/MWh and ranking around 32nd of the 46 zones we track. The Paks nuclear plant covers a large share of what the country generates itself; most of the rest arrives across a border, and that dependence is what keeps the Hungarian price at the top of its region.
