Czech households consume about 30 percent of domestic energy, most of it for heating

Households account for about 30 per cent of total energy consumption in Czechia, with two thirds of their consumption used for heating, according to the results of a survey by the Czech Statistics Office presented on Thursday.

About two thirds of Czech households reported heating their homes to 22 degrees Celsius. Some 16 percent of the overall consumption were used for heating water.

According to the survey, which was carried out in 10,000 households across the country in the second half of last year, households now get most of their energy from renewable sources, followed by natural gas.
