Smart Regions: Discover the EU’s largest geothermal system in Hungary co-funded by the EU

The fight against climate change is gaining momentum in Hungary. The city of Szeged is home to EU’s largest geothermal energy system, thanks to support from EU cohesion policy.

The aim is to reduce gas by around 50 percent, increasing Hungary's energy independence. The heating system provides clean, renewable, and affordable energy to over 28,000 households and over 400 public buildings in the area. The construction of the heating system was supported by the EU's Cohesion policy with around €23 million.
