Electricity consumption in Czechia lowest in 14 years

Electricity consumption in 2023 reached 57.8 terawatt hours (TWh), 4.1 percent less than in the previous year, according to data published by the Energy Regulatory Office. It is the lowest figure over the past 14 years. Electricity production has also fallen by around 10 percent year-on-year.

Preliminary data show that along with electricity, gas and heat consumption also declined last year. According to experts, the reasons for energy savings are mainly due to the gradual increase in energy prices as well as the warm weather.
