Abstract

The main task of my research was to present the process of developing renewable energy regions (RER) in Western Europe and that of it in Hungary. In regional science one always has to face the problem of accurately defining the concept, size, institution and the function of regions, because of manifold region definitions. The 3 types are as follows: Sustainable Energy Action Planning, the Modelling region and the risk based regional developing. In my research I evaluated KAT report data published by Hungarian Energy and Public Utility Regulatory Authority, thus assigning settlements constituting potential RERs in Hungary. Results could demonstrate renewable energy cities, micro-regional and regional spatial initiations started their institutionalization process before the national formal codification of RERs. A few typical examples were found in the Western Hungarian Region, but some of them can be found in Central and Northern Hungary as well as in the Northern Great Plain.
