Community Energy Development in Czechia

EUKI project COMMENCE advances the development of community energy in Central Europe by addressing key implementation bottlenecks in the Visegrad Four region.

This policy paper presents practical recommendations for supporting community energy in Czechia, focusing on removing barriers to electricity sharing and strengthening the long-term economic viability of energy communities.

The analysis identifies key regulatory, economic, and technical barriers that currently hinder community energy development. In response, it formulates three practical recommendations:
1) introducing a cost-reflective local distribution tariff for shared electricity,
2) enabling more efficient electricity allocation methods, including dynamic and hybrid models
3) gradually removing regulatory constraints that limit the scale and flexibility of electricity sharing

The policy paper is available in Czech.
