Fiala: National energy plan will supplement or replace EU solution

Prime Minister Petr Fiala says a national strategy to combat high energy prices is being prepared which will either supplement or replace any European solution. He said on Tuesday that it would depend what agreement was reached at European level.

Europe’s energy ministers are due to meet in Prague on Friday for a special energy summit to tackle soaring power prices.

A solution for Czechia will be presented to the public afterwards, Mr. Fiala said. He said from speaking to counterparts elsewhere in Europe that he had a sense there was greater interest in an EU-wide solution than a month ago.
