Energy sector in Czechia - statistics & facts
Czechia, historically a strongly industrial country, has shaped its energy sector. The energy mix has significantly diversified, with the highest share still coming from fossil fuels. The integration of nuclear energy, following the construction of the first nuclear power plant in the 1980s, has led to a halving of CO2 emissions, a significant environmental achievement. Notably, there has been a substantial increase in energy generation from renewable sources, a commendable achievement for Czechia, with this value more than doubling in the past 15 years.
