Máté Tóth refuted the "misinterpretation" of the figure spreading on the Internet, which Péter Magyar also took over and shared without a source, on his Facebook page called "The Energy Lawyer" According to the Tisza leader, the Hungarian economy has been dealt another deep blow by the fact that " as of yesterday, our electricity is the most expensive in all of Europe. "
The contextless post contains a diagram of the next day's electricity prices. According to Máté Tóth
1. Before we get to the heart of it: these are NOT household electricity prices, the household DOES NOT buy from the stock exchange.
"The price of residential electricity is 9.39 euro cents/kWh, including the system usage fee and everything else. In Prague, it is 35.3 eurocents, in Berlin it is 39.”
Thus, the figure is suitable for deception.
2. Although the companies do not buy electricity directly on the stock exchange, at the daily price, but from traders, typically with annual or two-year contracts, and some directly from producers, but the stock market price already counts.
According to Máté Tóth, the reason for this is that the fixing has disappeared from commercial contracts, which is primarily a mistake in commercial practice.
" If you like, that's the free market, whoever likes it, because that's what America and the Union said, so they can enjoy it now. If I remember correctly, a certain woman from Tisza, who was also sent to the European Parliament, wants exactly more markets and less official prices. It's like that ," he writes.
And finally
3. Let's be clear: I think it's very annoying that the average daily stock price the next day is high, but it can be high because of the many renewables, because because of them, the market price of electricity can fluctuate between 90 euros and 800 euros in a day, depending on the time of day and the weather.
That is why those who " want much more green" - these little globalist journalists are like that anyway - should get used to the expensive winter and night stock market prices, such and even greater daily swings, and this will push the average price up and increase the standard deviation. . "
In this regard, Máté Tóth notes that those who don't like all of this should " support Paks2 and gas-fired power plants, independent aggregators, flexibility services, demand response, storage, local energy communities, and the balanced energy mix - that's not what the map is about." . "
