OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels: Country Notes
This new web format for Country Notes on Fossil Fuel Support provides interactive on-line access to the latest data from the OECD Inventory of Support Measures for Fossil Fuels by country – identifying and estimating the value of support arising from policies that encourage the production or consumption of fossil fuels. The web version allows users to download, share and play with the data. Interactive graphics enable data visualisation, in national currency, by beneficiary and by energy product. These Country Notes provide, for each of the 50 economies covered in the Inventory, a snapshot of energy market structure, the current state of energy prices and taxes, and recent developments and trends in fossil fuel support. Data and country notes for the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries have been collected and prepared as part of the GREEN Action Task Force.

Czechia
The Czech Republic was the fifth-largest net electricity exporter in the EU in 2020, after Norway, France, Sweden and Germany. Most of its exports flow into Austria, the Slovak Republic and Germany. In 2020, electricity was mainly generated from coal (41%) and nuclear energy (about 33%). Small amounts of natural gas were used as a complement in multi-fired units and in peaking units. About one-third of the country’s electricity produced from coal is generated in combined-heat-and-power plants.
