Hungary has emerged as a regional natural gas hub, increasing its imports by 24% to 12.4 billion cubic meters in 2025, despite a slight decline in domestic production. The country enhanced its export capacity, particularly to Ukraine, which now receives approximately 14% of its annual gas needs from Hungary. New long-term contracts with Shell Energy and ENGIE for LNG imports, along with pipeline capacity expansions, have further strengthened Hungary's gas distribution and diversification.
