CZECH REPUBLIC RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

In the Czech Republic, renewable energy is supported through either a guaranteed feed-in tariff or a green bonus paid on top of the market price. Plant operators are free to choose either option. Operators of hydro power plants may also receive subsidies under the Operational Programme “Business and Innovation for Competitiveness”. CZECH REPUBLIC RENEWABLE INCENTIVES

Operators of renewable energy plants are entitled to priority connection to the grid. The use and the expansion of the grid are subject to general legislation on energy.

The heat from renewable energy sources is supported through subsidies under two Operational Programmes funded by the ERDF. Furthermore, renewable heating plants are exempt from real estate tax.

Currently, the Czech Republic has only introduced a building obligation for the use of renewable heating and the exemplary role of public authorities. CZECH REPUBLIC RENEWABLE INCENTIVES
