Hungary’s Competition Authority (Gazdasági Versenyhivatal – GVH) has taken action against companies involved in a solar panel cartel, imposing a 9 million Forint fine. The investigation was initiated following a report submitted by the Integrity Authority (Integritás Hatóság). The GVH determined that the companies engaged in anti-competitive practices, manipulating the market for solar panel systems. This decision underscores the GVH’s commitment to enforcing competition law and protecting consumers in Hungary. The imposed fine aims to deter similar conduct and ensure a fair market environment for solar energy solutions. Further details regarding the specific companies involved and the nature of the cartel activity have not yet been released by the authorities. This case highlights the ongoing efforts to regulate emerging green technologies within the Hungarian market.
