The gas and electricity prices are still two to three times higher compared to the average of the previous decade on wholesale markets, and Hungarian companies faced exceptionally high energy costs in the first half of 2023 within the EU. Therefore, it remains justified to explore energy procurement opportunities, common practices, and legal frameworks. What are the prospects for gas and electricity prices and how can the risks of volatility be mitigated? Is it already possible or does it make sense to conclude fixed price contracts again, or what other parameters should be considered when planning and implementing energy procurement? What are the benefits and obligations of different long-term power purchase contracts?
