Patrícia Honvári, Irén Szörényiné Kukorelli · 2018 · European Countryside

Summary. This study examines renewable energy investments across 748 Hungarian rural settlements, analyzing 159 municipality responses.

The study identifies significant threats that could undermine the success of these investments and hinder future renewable energy development at the local level.
