On the 11th of March, the Coal Commission, the first permanent consultative forum on coal transition in Hungary, held its inaugural meeting online. The strategic goal of the government’s energy and climate policy is to transform the Mátra Power Plant in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way and to guarantee a balanced energy supply and energy security for the region.
The newly established proposal and decision support body will ensure the involvement of the actors involved in the coal management process, the continuity of the discussions and the dissemination of results and proposals,” said Attila Steiner, State Secretary for the Development of the Circular Economy, Energy and Climate Policy in his welcome speech.
