Czech Republic Energy Policies Summary (2016 Review)

Core Content

The 2016 Energy Policies of IEA Countries report provides an in-depth analysis of the Czech Republic's energy policies, focusing on energy security, environmental impact, energy efficiency, and the development of renewable and other energy sources. The report highlights the country's progress since the 2010 in-depth review (IDR) and outlines key recommendations for further improvement.

Main Objectives of the IEA

The International Energy Agency (IEA) is an autonomous organization established in 1974 with two primary objectives:

• Promoting energy security through collective responses to oil supply disruptions.
• Providing authoritative research and analysis on reliable, affordable, and clean energy.

The Czech Republic is an IEA member and participates in the Agency's activities, including energy technology collaboration and engagement with non-member countries and stakeholders.

Key Policies and Objectives

1. Energy Security

• The Czech Republic maintains a high level of energy security through a diversified energy mix and strategic reserves.
• It complies with the IEA's 90-day oil stockholding requirement, holding 133 days of oil stocks.
• The country aims to increase natural gas storage capacity from 37% to nearly 50% of annual demand.
• The electricity sector is working to ensure generation adequacy and reduce reliance on coal.

2. Energy and Environment

• GHG emissions have been declining since 2000, but remain high per capita compared to other IEA members.
• The transport sector is a major contributor to emissions, with a focus on clean mobility and alternative fuels.
• The government has adopted a National Climate Change Adaptation Strategy and a Climate Protection Policy to support EU climate goals.

3. Energy Efficiency

• The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) and the State Energy Policy (SEP) have prioritized energy savings and reducing energy intensity.
• The country has seen a significant decoupling of energy demand from GDP growth since 2010.
• A dedicated Energy Efficiency and Savings Department and a cross-government coordination committee have been established to support these goals.

4. Renewable Energy

• Renewable energy's share in TPES increased from 6.7% in 2010 to 9.4% in 2014.
• The SEP aims for up to 25% renewable energy in total energy consumption by 2040.
• Support mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs and investment subsidies were used, but have been phased out, leading to market uncertainty.

5. Nuclear Energy

• Nuclear energy is a key component of the energy mix, with a long-term plan to expand capacity to enhance energy security.
• ČEZ is constructing new nuclear facilities at Temelín and has initiated a public tender for advanced pressurized water reactors.
• Nuclear is expected to replace aging coal-fired plants, but the future of new nuclear projects remains uncertain.

6. Coal

• Coal remains a major source of energy, accounting for 59.5% of energy production and 51.5% of electricity generation in 2014.
• The country is concerned about the depletion of lignite reserves, which are forecast to be exhausted by 2050.
• Retrofitting and replacing coal plants with cleaner technologies is underway, supported by significant investments.

7. Natural Gas

• The Czech Republic has a well-developed natural gas infrastructure and a high level of supply security.
• It has implemented an efficient wholesale market and aims to improve flexibility in its gas network through reversible flows and interconnectors.
• The country has a relatively high underground gas storage capacity.

8. Oil

• The Czech Republic has a strong compliance with the IEA's oil stockholding obligation.
• It has a diversified oil import portfolio and is working to maintain affordable electricity prices.
• Emergency preparedness measures are in place, though demand restraint policies are not expected to be used early in a crisis.

Key Recommendations

• Develop clear implementation plans for all future updates to National Action Plans (NAPs) to support the State Energy Policy (SEP).
• Ensure adequate resourcing for the implementation of the SEP, NAPs, and other supporting policies.
• Examine the introduction of a carbon tax for sectors outside the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU-ETS).
• Reintroduce stable and predictable support mechanisms for renewable energy, such as auctions or quota obligations, to replace the current uncertain FIT system.

Energy Data (2015 Estimates)

Sectoral Analysis

Renewable Energy

• The share of RES in TPES increased from 6.7% to 9.4% between 2010 and 2014.
• The FIT system was phased out for most RES in 2014, except for hydropower.
• The country has a significant solar PV capacity but limited gas-fired generation.

Electricity

• Coal accounts for 54% of electricity generation, nuclear for 32.5%.
• The electricity sector is dominated by ČEZ, which has a dominant market position.
• The government aims to keep electricity prices below the EU average and below 10% of household expenses.

Nuclear Energy

• Nuclear is a major pillar of the SEP, aimed at enhancing energy security and reducing emissions.
• The country is constructing new reactors at Temelín and has a public tender process for advanced pressurized water designs.

Coal

• Coal is the largest source of GHG emissions and contributes significantly to electricity generation.
• The country is working on retrofitting coal plants and replacing them with more efficient technologies.

Natural Gas

• Natural gas has a growing role in the energy mix, with a well-developed infrastructure and storage capacity.
• The country is increasing its gas storage and improving network flexibility.

Oil

• The Czech Republic maintains compliance with the IEA's 90-day stockholding obligation.
• It has a diversified oil import portfolio and is working to ensure affordability and security of supply.

Conclusion

The Czech Republic has made notable progress in energy policy since the 2010 IDR, particularly in energy efficiency, renewable energy development, and maintaining energy security. However, challenges remain, especially in the transition away from coal, the need for a stable support mechanism for renewables, and the implementation of a coherent and well-resourced strategy to meet long-term energy and climate goals. The report emphasizes the importance of clear policy implementation, coordination between ministries, and the introduction of market-based incentives to support a sustainable and low-carbon energy future.
