Wind farm near Mosonszolnok

The installed capacity of wind power in Hungary was 329 MW as of April 2011.[1] Most of wind farms are in the Kisalföld region.

As of 1 April 2011, there were 39 operational wind farms in Hungary, with 172 turbines and 329 MW of installed capacity. In 2016 Hungary banned the building of wind turbines within 12km of populated areas, accordingly no new turbines have been constructed since then.[2]
