A key challenge of the Czech Republic’s energy sector over the next decade is to prepare for the phase-out of coal from the energy mix. As the country’s only domestic fossil fuel, coal has been and still is a key energy source in the Czech Republic.
On May 18, 2015, the Government of the Czech Republic, through its resolution, approved an updated State Energy Policy. On 18 May 2015, the Government of the Czech Republic approved by its resolution an updated State Energy Policy for the next 25 years.
As the country’s only domestic fossil fuel, coal has been and still is a key energy source in the Czech Republic. In 2019, it accounted for one-third of total energy supply, 46% of electricity generation and over 25% of residential heating.
The Czech Republic is hence well placed to leverage the funding to be provided under the European Just Transition Fund, which can be used, among others, to retrain coal miners and power plant workers. The Czech Republic has progressed notably in terms of energy efficiency measures since the IEA’s last in-depth review in 2016.
The storage system will support the transformation of the Czech power sector and contribute to the stabilisation of the power grid by providing power balance services. “Europe's energy sector is changing dynamically, but a secure energy supply and network stability remain the cornerstones.

Mainly due to generous subsidies and other government support, photovoltaic power plants in the Czech Republic experienced a huge boom in 2009 and 2010. The situation then stabilized in the following years, with a more significant increase in installed capacity in recent years, when renewables have again started to gain more attention in the EU.
Also, [4,33] confirms this result by comparing the performance of Li-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, sodium-sulfur, and redox flow batteries for CES architecture.
The first two calls for applications for subsidies open on April 21. Applications for solar plants of up to 10 kWp with or without an energy storage system will be accepted until May 19 with the total subsidy budget for this category set at EUR 40 million. The call for solar plants from 10 kWp to 1 MWp with or without storage ends on June 2.
