🇨🇿 The Czech Energy Market Overview

The Czech Republic is undergoing a quiet revolution in its energy sector. Between phasing out coal, ramping up renewables, and introducing smarter pricing models for consumers, the years 2023 to 2025 mark a turning point. Here’s what you need to know about where Czech energy is headed—and how it might affect your bills.


⚡️ What Powers Czechia?

As of 2023, the Czech energy mix remains dominated by two big players: nuclear and coal. Nuclear power stations (Dukovany and Temelín) provide about 39% of electricity, while coal (mostly lignite) supplies another 40%. But that’s changing—coal is on the way out, with a full phase-out by 2033 in the national plan.

Meanwhile, renewables are on the rise, with their share in electricity generation climbing to 16.5% in 2023, driven mainly by solar and biomass. The government expects that number to reach 28% by 2030.


☀️ Renewable Energy: Czechia’s Green Push

2023 was a record year for solar power. Over 970 MW of solar capacity was added, mostly on rooftops—thanks to generous subsidies through the “New Green Savings” program.

Wind energy, however, is still lagging due to tough permitting processes and limited suitable locations. But the government plans to simplify rules to encourage growth.

Looking ahead to 2025, renewables are expected to cover around 20%+ of electricity needs, with solar leading the charge.


💡 Why Your Electricity Bill Looks the Way It Does

Your electricity price is made up of several parts:

  • Unregulated costs: The actual electricity (commodity) price from the market. This can change daily or hourly depending on your contract.
  • Regulated fees: Distribution, transmission, system services—set by the Energy Regulatory Office.
  • Taxes and levies: Includes VAT (21%), a renewable energy support fee (back in place in 2024), and a small electricity tax.

In 2023, prices were capped by the government at 5,000 CZK/MWh (excl. VAT) to protect consumers during the energy crisis. The cap was lifted in 2024, and prices began to normalize.


📊 Dynamic Tariffs: Pay-as-the-Market-Goes

Czech consumers now have access to dynamic electricity pricing, where your hourly usage is charged at real-time market prices. This means:

  • You pay more during peak hours, but
  • Save money during off-peak (nights, weekends, sunny/windy days).

To use dynamic pricing, you need a smart meter, and these are being rolled out across the country. Dynamic tariffs are ideal for people with flexible schedules or smart homes that can shift usage automatically.

The Czech regulator supports dynamic pricing but is keeping a close eye to protect consumers from volatility.


🏢 Top Electricity Suppliers Offering Dynamic Tariffs

If you’re interested in going dynamic, here are some providers to check out:

Supplier Product Pricing Model
ČEZ Prodej Elektřina SPOT Hourly spot price (OTE)
bezDodavatele Naše Energie Hourly spot + flat fees
Centropol Elektřina Spot Spot-based, no fixed term
Pražská plynárenská Flexi Monthly-indexed pricing
MND Energie Spot & Měsíční Hourly or monthly spot
EPET Spotová Full hourly spot pricing
Innogy Index Monthly market average

Note: You’ll need a smart meter for true hourly tariffs, but monthly-indexed options are available without one.


🧭 What’s Next?

Between now and 2025, expect to see:

  • Continued growth in rooftop solar
  • More flexible pricing and smart meter adoption
  • A decline in coal as older plants shut down
  • More competition among suppliers as dynamic pricing goes mainstream

The Czech energy landscape is shifting from rigid to responsive. If you're tech-savvy and willing to experiment, now’s a great time to rethink how—and when—you use electricity.
