Hungary Daily Load Shape and Duck Curve by Hour, 30 September to 25 October 2026

In the 26 complete local days from 30 September to 25 October 2026, electricity demand in Hungary averaged 4,701 MW and typically peaked at 19:00 local time (5,706 MW) and bottomed out at 03:00 (4,113 MW). With solar and wind taken off, the remaining load fell to 1,193 MW at 12:00 and then rose 3,348 MW between 14:00 to 17:00. Hours are local clock time (Europe/Budapest).

Average Day by Local Hour

26 days to 2026-10-25, Europe/Budapest time
Hungary average demand and net generation by local hour Average electricity demand in Hungary by local clock hour over 26 complete local days from 30 September to 25 October 2026. It was lowest at 03:00 (4,113 MW) and highest at 19:00 (5,706 MW). Net generation is the power produced inside the grid, so it differs from demand by net imports. 0 1,500 3,000 4,500 6,000 00:0003:0006:0009:0012:0015:0018:0021:00

Each value is the mean over 26 complete local days from 30 September to 25 October 2026, weekdays and weekends together, for the hour starting at that local clock time. Net load is demand minus solar and wind generation. The single highest hour of demand in the whole 30 day window was 6,198 MW; it is a published reading, not an average, and is not part of the profile above.

Assumptions

  • Hours are local clock time in Europe/Budapest. A local day is used only if it is whole inside the 30 day window and at least 22 of its hours are complete; the profile uses the 26 most recent such days. Daylight saving follows the local clock: on a clock change day the missing hour is absent and the repeated hour is averaged over both readings.
  • The average mixes weekdays and weekends and covers only 26 days, so it describes recent conditions, not a seasonal norm.
  • The evening ramp is the largest rise over three hours in the average profile, starting between 14:00 and 20:00 local time.
