Problems of the energy sector

• Import dependence (60-62 without, 75 with
  uranium growing)
• Level of use of natural gas (80 import!)
• Dependence on Russia and other FSU (gas, oil,
  nuclear fuel, around 90 of energy imports!)
• Growing energy use
• High energy intensity indicator
• Long-term contracts within the electricity sector
• Paks

The Holy Cow
It is never Paks which makes the problem, but
everything else!

Problems on decision-making level

• No energy policy exists
• Non transparent decision-making
• Paks PLEX
• Gas reservoirs, pipelines
• Energy statistics in ruins
• Gerontocracy decision-makers, education,
  consultants etc.
