Wind power in Hungary

File:Szélerőművek Mosonszolnok mellett (1.).jpg

The installed capacity of wind power in Hungary was 329 MW as of April 2011.[http://www.mszit.hu/ Magyar Szélenergia Társaság] Most of wind farms are in the Kisalföld region.

As of 1 April 2011, there were 39 operational wind farms in Hungary, with 172 turbines and 329 MW of installed capacity.

In 2016 Hungary banned the building of wind turbines within 12km of populated areas, accordingly no new turbines have been constructed since then.{{cite web |title=Hungary to loosen its rules on deployment of wind turbines |url=https://ceenergynews.com/renewables/hungary-to-loosen-its-rules-on-deployment-of-wind-turbines/ |date=9 February 2023}}

Tenders

The first tender was written in 2006 and it contains 330 MW capacity. Till March 16, 2006 it received 1138 MW capacity.[http://www.wind-energy-the-facts.org/documents/hungary/WETFBudapestworksho12Jun09PeterToth.pdf Szélenergia hasznosítás jövője 2020-ig Wind Industry's vision for 2020]
In 2009 Hungary tendered for 410 MW of new wind capacity. It received 68 bids totalling 1100 MW capacity,[http://www.windpowermonthly.com/news/989494/Hungarian-government-overwhelmed-bids-wind-energy-licenses/ Hungarian government overwhelmed with bids for wind energy licenses] but later the Hungarian Energy Office cancelled it.[http://www.windpowermonthly.com/news/1017835/Hungary-scraps-wind-tender/ Hungary scraps wind tender]
