Investments by 2030 should amount to CZK 2.8 trillion. The national energy and climate plan is required by the European Commission. The Czech Republic was one of 13 EU countries that were late in submitting their plan. The Commission therefore opened infringement proceedings in November.
“Electricity generation will be based on renewable sources and nuclear, and the role of gas sources can also be expected to increase,” said Vlcek. The Czech Republic did not go beyond the EU targets when setting its emission reduction targets, he added.
The Czech government has approved its National Climate and Energy Plan, which sets the key steps and goals for developing green policy and reducing emissions in the Czech Republic, Industry and Trade Minister Lukas Vlcek (STAN) announced after a cabinet meeting yesterday.
Hladik also pointed to the security aspect of the climate and energy plan, which is intended to reduce the Czech Republic’s energy dependence on foreign energy imports. This dependence is about 40% at present, and should drop to roughly 26% by 2050, he said.
Environment Minister Petr Hladik (KDU-CSL) stressed the importance of the plan for investors and entrepreneurs, and said the implementation of the plan should increase Czech GDP by 2%. Compared to the draft version from the summer, the plan approved yesterday is more general and less specific in many respects.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
