Czechia still behind other EU states in solar, wind energy use – study

Czechia continues to lag well behind most EU countries in the use of solar and wind energy, according to an analysis by Ember, an independent, London-based energy think tank that focuses on accelerating the global transition to clean electricity. While these sources accounted for about 30 percent of EU electricity generation in 2025, surpassing fossil fuels for the first time, their share in Czechia reached only 6.6 percent. Solar power output has grown in recent years, but the pace has slowed, and wind energy remains stuck at around 1 percent of generation, far below the EU average. Without faster growth, Czechia risks falling further behind the EU’s energy transition, experts warn.
