context_page_description: László Verebélÿ was a Hungarian university professor and electrical engineer. He worked in Hungary, Italy, Germany, Austria, England and the United States and did important work on the development of Hungary's electricity network after World War I.
context_section_description: At the first World Energy Conference in 1924, Kandó and Verebélÿ introduced the Transdanubian electrification plan. As a first step, A 75 MW power station and a connecting 100 kV power line of 150–200 km were built and the Budapest-Hegyeshalom railway line was electrified. This raised the interest of English financial circles, and after long negotiations, they made an offer in 1926, some of which was guaranteed by the British Treasury. The offer was accepted in 1927 by Hungary and the Hungarian Transdanubian Electricity Company was established to manage it.
  In the meantime, Verebely and Kandó prepared for railway expansion. Kandó's idea of supplying the railway from the industrial-frequency (50 Hz) power system complemented Verebely's electricity management plans.
