Czechs paying highest gas, electricity prices of Visegrad Group states

Czech households paid significantly more for gas and electricity in the first half of this year than citizens in the other Visegrad Group (V4) member countries, i.e. Poland, Hungary and Slovakia, according to data published by Eurostat. Electricity for Czech households has risen by more than a quarter year-on-year and gas by more than half. In April, Eurostat published data on gas and electricity prices, according to which gas prices for households in the Czech Republic in the second half of last year saw the steepest increase in all of the EU member states.
