AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoNuclear Restart Watch: Hungary’s Paks plant is ramping back up after Danube water levels improved. PM Péter Magyar says Turbine 6 of Unit 3 has restarted and the facility could reach full 2,000 MW capacity by Wednesday, with emergency river works (including a submerged weir and barges) keeping cooling water available. Water Crisis Impact: The same drought that forced Paks to cut output is also hitting daily life and industry—Lake Velence has fallen to record lows, hurting tourism and fishing, while severe drought covers most of the country. Energy Grid Push: Hungary is set to spend nearly HUF 500 billion on electricity grid development and smart meters via EU Recovery and Resilience funding, aiming to boost reliability and enable more renewables. Logistics Pressure: Europe’s receding rivers are disrupting inland shipping, with the Danube and Rhine seeing severe constraints that can raise transport costs.
