1. Clean and renewable energy
The wind is always blowing somewhere, making it an inexhaustible source of energy. Wind turbines do not pollute the air or emit harmful gases. This helps preserve the values of our environment, offsets the negative impacts of climate change, and ensures cleaner air and a more liveable tomorrow for present and future generations alike.
The rise of renewable energy sources, especially the construction of wind farms, is vital for energy security and the future of our planet. But how does the new infrastructure affect the life of one of the most important ecosystem service providers, bees?
Over the past decade and a half, no new wind farm developments have been able to take place in Hungary, but thanks to the regulatory changes introduced in 2023, the country can once again open the way for wind energy. The aim is to triple domestic capacity by 2030 – while the technology is now far safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly than before.
Below, we have collected the most important things to know about wind turbines and explain how they actually work.
To understand the role of wind energy in Hungary’s energy production, it is worth briefly reviewing the country’s energy mix – particularly the relationship between solar and wind energy.
