Highlights

  • Czechia aims to raise the share of renewables in final energy consumption to 22% in 2030 and is engaged in phasing out coal by 2033.
  • ?EZ dominates the electricity market, while Innogy dominates the gas market.
  • Orlen Unipetrol controls the refining sector.
  • The coal sector is being restructured to reduce production costs.
  • Coal and lignite accounted for 42% of the power mix in 2021 against 20% for nuclear.
  • Most of the oil and gas supplies come from Russia.
  • Energy prices are lower than the EU average.
  • Lignite and coal cover around 1/3 of the energy mix.
  • Energy consumption has followed a downward trend since 2008.
  • 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, although two projects were downsized in 2020.
  • Net4Gas is involved in the "Central European Hydrogen Corridor" project with Germany, Slovakia, and Ukraine.

46-58%

of nuclear in the power mix in 2040

40%

of coal and lignite in the power mix (2021)

-38%

in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 to 2021

  • 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

    Gas:

    RWE is the leading gas company, active throughout the whole value chain, from import to storage, distribution, and supply. In 2016, its infrastructure, retail and renewables activities were renamed Innogy (76% RWE); in 2019, Innogy sold its Czech gas business to RWE.

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Czechia has important coal and lignite resources, mainly located in the northern part of the Boheme. Gas and oil reserves are limited (3.3 bcm and 2.5 Mt in 2020). The hydroelectricity potential is about 13 TWh.

  • Energy Prices

    Electricity:

    Electricity prices soared between 2000 and 2013 for both industrial customers (+7%/year) and households (+8%/year), before falling in 2014 (-17% on average). Industrial tariffs continued to decline until 2017 (-5.3%/year) and then rose by 6.4%/year until 2021 (+2.5% in 2021 alone), whereas residential tariffs dropped by 1% in 2021 after having increased by 4.7%/year since 2014.

  • Energy Consumption

    Energy consumption per capita is 32% higher than the EU average (3.9 toe in 2020), whereas electricity consumption per capita is 3.4% higher than the EU average, at around 5 700 kWh/capita in 2020.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the State Energy Policy (2015), the share of coal and lignite in primary energy consumption should drop from 40% in 2016 to 11-17% in 2040 and that of oil from 20% to 14-17%. The share of nuclear should surge from 15% to 25-33%, as should that of renewables (from 10% to 17-22%), while the share of gas should continue to progress (from 16% to 18-25%).
