Highlights

  • Czechia aims to raise the share of renewables in final energy consumption to 22% in 2030.
  • The country will phase out coal for electricity and heat generation by 2033.
  • ČEZ dominates the electricity market with over 60% of total power generation and distribution.
  • Net4Gas, the gas transmission company, was acquired by CEPS in 2023.
  • RWE Transgas is the leading gas supplier.
  • Nuclear (40%) overpassed for the first time lignite in the power mix (36%).
  • Norway became the first gas supplier in 2023.
  • Gas prices for households and industry decreased moderately in 2024.
  • Electricity prices kept increasing for households whereas they slightly declined in industry.
  • Energy prices are lower than the EU average.
  • Energy consumption has followed a downward trend since 2010, with a 5% reduction in 2024.
  • The share of coal and lignite in the energy mix has dropped by 18 points since 2010, reaching 23% in 2023.
  • The country plans to halve the share of coal and lignite in the energy mix in 20 years, to the advantage of nuclear (up to 4 new nuclear reactors), solar, and wind.
  • The country is strengthening its gas interconnections.
  • Net4Gas is involved in the "Central European Hydrogen Corridor" project with Germany, Slovakia, and Ukraine.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    The Government Council for the Energy and Raw Materials Strategy of the Ministry of Industry and Trade is in charge of the country's energy policy.

  • Energy Companies

    Oil:

    Orlen Unipetrol (PKN Orlen 100%) refines and distributes oil through two subsidiaries, Česka Rafinerska and Benzina, which merged in 2017. In 2004, PKN Orlen (Poland) purchased the 63% stake held by the Government and acquired the remainder in 2018.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Czechia has important coal and lignite resources (3.5 Gt in 2024), mainly located in the northern part of the Boheme. Gas and oil reserves are limited (3.3 bcm and 1 Mt in 2024). The hydroelectricity potential is about 3.4 TWh.

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    The government has approved a price cap for electricity and gas amid soaring energy prices. Households and businesses will pay a maximum of CZK6/kWh (€25c/kWh) for electricity and a maximum of CZK3/kWh (€12c/kWh) of gas in 2023.

    Electricity prices kept increasing in 2024 by 6% for households after a 35% rise in 2023. These prices are close to the EU average (4% lower in 2024).

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita is 20% higher than the EU average (3.3 toe in 2024), whereas electricity consumption per capita is 4% lower than the EU average, at around 5 200 kWh/capita in 2024.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the NECP (2024), the share of coal and lignite in primary energy consumption should drop from 40% in 2016 to 3% in 2040 and that of oil from 20% to 20%. The share of nuclear should surge from 15% to 42%, as should that of renewables (from 10% to 26%), while the share of gas should decrease (from 16% to 9%).
