MVM Next dynamic electricity pricing in Hungary

Overview

MVM Next is implementing a new dynamic electricity pricing model in Hungary, referred to as the ‘D tariff’. This voluntary option is available to residential and certain non-residential consumers equipped with smart meters capable of 15-minute interval readings.

The pricing structure maintains existing subsidized energy limits. For residential users, the fixed A1 rate applies to the first 2,523 kWh annually, while non-residential customers have a limit of 4,606 kWh. Consumption exceeding these thresholds will be subject to fluctuating electricity exchange prices, calculated in 15-minute increments.

To benefit from the system, consumers are encouraged to shift high-energy activities, such as air conditioning or electric vehicle charging, to periods of low market prices, typically during peak solar production. However, the model introduces volatility, as prices are based on the Hungarian electricity exchange and can rise significantly during peak demand or extreme weather. The first settlements under this system are expected to begin as early as January 1, 2027.
