Attila Keresztes

Attila Keresztes is an expert in energy policy and efficiency, known for his advocacy on improving Hungary's energy independence. In a recent discussion, he emphasized the importance of upgrading residential energy efficiency to achieve significant savings on heating energy, potentially reducing household energy bills by 20-30% by 2030. Keresztes critiques Hungary's current utility subsidy system, arguing that it fails to target those in energy poverty and instead benefits property owners with multiple residences, including vacation homes and short-term rentals. He promotes a more focused approach to public funding that prioritizes primary residences and energy-poor households.
