Analysis
Hungary recorded 3,211 GWh for renewable energy electricity output in 2015. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.3% on the previous year and up 71.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, renewable energy electricity output in Hungary peaked at 3,211 GWh in 2015 and was at its lowest, 195 GWh, in 1990.
That places Hungary 88th out of 233 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
