Szijjártó said Chevron would deliver an annual 400 million cubic meters of LNG to MVM under the contract. He added that U.S. LNG would become part of Hungary’s energy mix for the first time.
The minister acknowledged Washington’s contribution to the security of Hungary’s energy supply and said that American-Hungarian cooperation in the area of nuclear energy was being stepped up, noting a contract with Westinghouse on the delivery of nuclear fuel for the Paks NPP and an agreement on adopting U.S. technology for the construction of small modular reactors.
Szijjártó said U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to exempt Hungary from sanctions on Russian energy was “greatly appreciated” and had secured Hungary’s gas and crude supply while paving the way for the accelerated construction of additional blocks at the Paks NPP.
