Step up ambition
To contribute to the European climate and energy targets, the Czech Republic must step up its ambition and significantly accelerate deployment of solar and wind power. However, the Czech government decided to postpone its approval of the final NECP and as of November 2024, there is no clear timeline for submission of the plan. The last available draft only included a 30 % target for final energy consumption from renewables by 2030, failing to fully exploit the potential of renewables and falling short of the required 33 % share recommended by the European Commission.

Check Czechia’s implementation of its National Energy and Climate Plan
Assessing the implementation of the Czech old 2019 NECP is very difficult due to the lack of trajectories (only a few 2030 targets are available in the NECP tracker). It is nonetheless clear that, as of 2022, Czechia was still far from moving towards the 2030 objectives of its 2019 NECP, whose ambition is now obsolete. As of 2022, Czechia was still far from its 2030 sectoral targets – with the agriculture, transport and waste sectors showing worrisome trends. Notably, emissions in the transport sector have increased every year in the last decade (except during the pandemic year), and they are now 30 percentage points higher than the old NECP target for 2030.
Moreover, Czechia remained very far (38.6 Mtoe) from meeting its 2019 NECP target for primary energy consumption in 2030 (22 Mtoe). A sharp improvement in energy efficiency is therefore urgently required. On the other hand, renewables uptake in 2022 was on track with old NECP objectives.
