State-owned Hungarian Electricity works (MVM) sold 326MW of excess capacity at the ninth auction since the partial deregulation of the electricity market, MTI News Agency reported. The amount is 10% more than the initially planned and generated HUF 37bn for MVM. Demand at the auction was markedly higher than previous tenders as the excess capacity was sold to total of 19 power companies, more than the outcome for any of the previous events. MVM sold capacity for both H1/2007 and full-2007. The average price for the former was HUF 15.325 per kWh and in the case of the latter it was HUF 15.102 per kWh. The strong demand contributed to further widening of the gap between the prices on the regulated and deregulated market with the differential now reaching some 30-40%. According to industry experts, the auction results have shown that prices on the deregulated market have reached the level on the German market.
