HUNGARY POWER AND COAL SUBSECTOR REVIEW ABSTRACT This report identifies the main issues in Hungary's electric power, coal, and district heating subsectors and presents a strategy for dealing with them. The central issue in the subsectors concerns the selection of the most economic power generation option and any associated coal mining investment. Based on a computer model of the Hungarian power system, the mission recommends that a group of combined heat and power projects followed by a lignite power station is the preferred strategy. An alternative strategy with no CHP projects would be the lignite power station followed by a brown coal power station. Further 1,000 MW nuclear power stations are shown to be a low priority at present. The report contains a number of recommendations for strengthening the planning of the subsectors which involve preparing least-cost investment programs for power, brown coal and district heat development, feasibility studies for projects in these programs and a re-evaluation of the Lias (hard coal) investment program. Prices of power and coal to enterprises are generally in the order of 80-90% of economic cost and the mission recommends raising these prices to their economic costs to improve economic efficiency and to mobilize resources to finance new investment. Consumer energy prices are typically only 30-35% of economic cost. The Government plans to increase them to their economic costs, but the mission recommends that the Government should determine whether the timescale to this could be speeded up. Enterprises in the power and coal subsector are generally well run and adequately staffed. There may exist some scope for modest institutional reforms that would raise efficiency above its already high level and the report recommends areas which the Government could examine. In particular, the mission recommends giving the power utility more responsibility for preparing its investment programs for review and approval by the appropriate Government agencies.
