Hungary's record solar power output has offset an 82% drop in nuclear power from the Paks plant due to low Danube water levels, maintaining overall electricity supply and reducing reliance on imports and fossil fuels.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Hungarian solar farms have stepped in to replace most of a huge nuclear power shortfall caused by drought. You can target energy markets with flexible renewables or storage to back up ageing nuclear or fossil plants under climate stress.
