MVM Next introduces dynamic electricity pricing in Hungary

MVM Next is introducing a new dynamic pricing model, known as the D tariff, which will be available for application starting September 1, 2026. The first settlements under this system are expected to begin as early as January 1, 2027.

The D tariff does not guarantee lower bills for all consumers. It is primarily beneficial for households that consume more than the subsidized threshold of 2,523 kWh per year. For consumption within this limit, the discounted A1 unit price remains in effect. For consumption exceeding this limit, prices will fluctuate based on the Hungarian electricity exchange.

To maximize savings, consumers must shift high-energy activities—such as electric vehicle charging or air conditioning use—to periods when market prices are lower, which often occurs during peak solar production. Prices will be calculated in fifteen-minute intervals based on the exchange rate set in euros and converted to Hungarian Forints using the official daily exchange rate from the Hungarian National Bank, plus MVM Next's retail fee. This system introduces volatility, as market prices can fluctuate significantly from day to day.
