Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Hungary's electricity access was 100.00% in 2025, ranked 76th globally. This represents a 0.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Hungary's electricity access stood at 100.00% in 2025, a rise of +0.00pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.00% by 2025. Hungary ranked 76th globally.
Hungary has consistently maintained a high level of electricity access since 1990, with a steady 100.00% coverage rate throughout the 35-year period. This achievement is comparable to that of its peer countries, such as Croatia and the Isle of Man, which also have a 100.00% electricity access rate. Notably, Hungary's electricity access rate peaked at 100.00% in 2025, mirroring its starting point in 1990, indicating a stable trajectory. In contrast, the country experienced a slight dip in 2006, with a 99.90% coverage rate, marking the only notable deviation from the 100.00% mark. The country's ability to maintain full electricity access coverage is a testament to its strong infrastructure and energy policies. However, a significant shift in climate or energy policies could potentially alter Hungary's electricity access trajectory, and a change in the global energy landscape may necessitate a reassessment of the country's energy infrastructure investments.
