Abstract:

The Czech government assumes a gradual withdrawal from coal while increasing the share of nuclear in the national energy mix. This is confirmed in an agreement with the main energy supplier, ČEZ, from July on financing another nuclear reactor. Even though Prime Minister Andrej Babiš had previously criticised the EU plan to reduce CO2 emissions, ultimately Czechia accepted the EU climate goals. A more effective energy transformation in Central Europe would come from closer cooperation, including in the programme of the ongoing Polish presidency in the Visegrad Group, help for coal-mining regions, and in other efforts.
