The Hungarian government has earmarked HUF 800 billion for the regulated utilities price scheme for households in 2025 and will continue the program in 2026, Energy Ministry state secretary Gábor Czepek said in a post on social media on Monday.
The state secretary was of the opinion that Hungarian households paid the lowest gas and electricity prices in all of Europe thanks to the regulated price scheme.
According to him, the government faced "headwinds" in Brussels [by which politicians of the current Hungarian governing party mean decision-makers of the European Union] where officials aimed to force market prices on Hungary while also banning the import of Russian oil and gas, a measure that would cause households' energy bills to triple.
