Szillárd Németh announced that the utility cost reduction scheme is proving useful as Hungary is performing better than Slovakia in this regard.Continue reading
Households in Germany pay 4.5 times more for electricity and five times more for gas than Hungarians do, the Government Commissioner for the Maintenance of Utility Cost Reduction stated on Thursday, on his Facebook page.
Szilárd Németh said that although Europe’s strongest and largest economy operates in Germany, it made mistakes in its energy policy years ago and has continued to worsen the situation ever since. He pointed out that all nuclear power plants were shut down, and
the government claimed they would supply industrial energy needs through wind power. This plan failed, and at the same time, they fully committed to the sanctions policy.
In the video, the president of the Central Association of German Crafts (ZHD) said he had a good and interesting discussion with Németh about energy prices and utility issues. Despite the differences between the two countries, there are also similar challenges, said Jörg Dittrich, who believes that technological neutrality must be preserved or at least strived for.
Németh added that during the discussion, it became clear that
the difference in prices between Hungary and Germany is due to Hungary’s utility cost reduction policy.
Németh wrote in a post that the key to Hungary’s policy is maintaining universal service, building the Paks II nuclear plant, and rejecting sanctions on Russian energy sources.
