Hungary Section PES chapter

Short introduction:

The PES HU provides forum for sharing the latest in technological developments in the electric power industry, for developing standards that guide the development and construction of equipment and systems, and for educating members of the industry and the general public. In this case the education and the results of the industrial developments are in focus – to let the most vulnerable to enjoy its benefits. Members of the PES HU are leaders in this field, and they — and their colleagues — derive substantial benefits from involvement with this unique and outstanding association.

“To be the leading provider of scientific and engineering information on electric power and energy for the betterment of society, and the preferred professional development source for our members.”
