Czech households will overpay ten billion crowns for energy in 2024

Czech households are expected to overpay by approximately CZK 10 billion on energy bills in 2024. This primarily affects customers with open-ended contracts, who make up about half of all electricity customers in Czechia.

However, compared to last year, most customers with open-ended contracts will see savings, as many suppliers offered discounts earlier this year. The Energy Regulatory Office forecasts that energy prices will decrease in 2025, with electricity for the average household expected to be 10.1 percent cheaper year-on-year, and gas 8.5 percent cheaper. Households without fixed-rate contracts are projected to save CZK 1,000 annually compared to 2024.
