_, Eased upon the Ten ':sear plan for electrical production in Hungary, only
twelve ];ercent of the entire energy production will be covered by hydro-
, :lectr"ic works at the end of the ten yoar period,, Thera l generating
works will account for the r. emainLing 88 percent,,
' Mring a discussion in the planning office of the rive-Year plan for the
state coal mines,, it was estimated that e3uraal coal requirements w .1l have
-Risen to sic en million tons in l9 2 In order to absorb this rise., the
present coal production of ten million tons will have to be greetly
increased?
Present natu*:^al coal reserves in Hungary are estimated at approximately
:.L,1OO million taons n sixty percent of which is of far lower quality
than the coal at present being mined,.,
.A: though Hungarian geologists expect to discover an additional 1.,000 to
1,500, million tons of coal reserves., Hungarian coal production will become
more and more difficult in the next f'r decades
