Act No. 382/2021 Coll., amending Act No.  165/2012 Coll., on supported energy sources and on the

The purpose of this Act is to protect the climate and the environment and to support the use of 
renewable energy sources, secondar y sources and highly efficient combined heat and power 
generation, to increase the share of renewable energy sources in the consumption of primary sources 
of energy in order to meet the defined objectives, to contribute to environment -friendly use of 
natur al sources and to support sustainable development of the society, and to create conditions for 
meeting the obligatory target of renewable energy share in gross final consumption of energy in the 
Czech Republic, taking into account the interest of customers  in minimizing the impact of support 
on energy prices for customers in the Czech Republic.

4. Background and authority for the subsidy (including identification of the legislation under 
which it is granted).  
Legislation:  The subsidy is granted under Act No. 165/2012 Coll. on supported energy sources and 
on amendments to certain acts, which was currently amended in the context of the implementation 
of new forms of support (see Act No. 382/2021 Coll.).  
Background:  Costs for  the support of electricity and operational support for heat are covered 
through the market operator from financial resources that consist of:  
a) revenues from payments for the total price of electricity which includes two components: 
price for the distributi on network services and price for the transmission network services;  
b) revenues from payments for failure to meet the minimum efficiency value related to the use 
of energy during the process of burning lignite, pursuant to Section 6 (5) of the Energy 
Management Act;  
c) subsidies from the state budget;  
d) revenues from the auctioning of allowances pursuant to the Act on conditions for trading in 
emission allowances for greenhouse gas emissions implemented through the Ministry's 
Chapter.  
Authority for the subs idy: Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic.  
5. Form of the subsidy  (i.e., grant, loan, tax concession, etc.).  
The support is provided as a non -refundable subsidy. The amount provided is determined according 
to the amount of energy produced (el ectricity and heat) in the form of feed -in tariffs or green 
bonuses. Feed -in tariffs or green bonuses are set and published by the Energy Regulatory Office 
every year in its price decisions.  
The notification No. SA.102415 is an investment support (Direct g rant/Interest rate subsidy).  
6. To whom and how the subsidy is provided (whether to producers, to exporters, or others; 
through what mechanism; whether a fixed or fluctuating amount per unit; if the latter, how 
determined).  
The Act defines two forms of opera tional support for generation of electricity from renewable sources 
of energy: feed -in tariffs and green bonuses. The two forms of support cannot be combined, the 
producer has to select one of them. The support in the form of feed -in tariff is available on ly to 
selected production plants to give priority to the support system in the form of green bonuses. Green 
bonuses are paid by the market operator (OTE) and the feed -in tariff is paid by the mandatory dealer 
appointed by the state. This support is then se ttled between the trader and OTE.  
Feed-in tariffs have been calculated with regard to the wording of Section 4 of Act No. 165/2012 
Coll. and are set so that for the lifetime of the given types of power plants the fifteen -year return 
on investment is guara nteed to producers. Feed -in tariffs are increased by 2% during the lifetime of 
the source with regard to the industrial producer price index.  
The Energy Regulatory Office determines the amount of green bonuses so that it reflects the market 
price of electr icity for individual types of renewable energy sources. This system enables the 
producer to sell his produced electricity to any customer or electricity trader for a market price and 
receive a green bonus as well. The system of bonuses also allows for the self-consumption of the 
produced electricity and apply a green bonus for this self -consumption.  
In order for the Czech Republic to be prepared for increasing the targets for RES by 2030 and the 
possible risk of a decrease in energy production from RES comp ared to the current situation, there 
is prepared a wide palette of options with suitable forms of support for RES and supported energy 
sources, which are part of the amendment to Act No. 165/2012 Coll. (see Act No. 382/2021 Coll.). G/SCM/N/401/EU/Add.6  
- 20 - 
  The chosen approach is c onceived as a comprehensive solution to the new setting of supports for 
the future for the development of new RES sources as well as for the preservation of a number of 
sources that are currently already in operation. This principle can be summarized in th e following 
points:  
a) "Modification" of the current form of support for small sources up to 1 MW, where support 
in the form of feed -in tariffs will no longer be used, but only support in the form of an hourly 
green bonus.  
b) Introduction of support in the form  of competitive bidding procedures (auctions) for sources 
above 1 MW. This principle also results from EU legislation as an obligation for these sources.  
Investment support for renewable energy, or support for the construction of energy production 
plants u sing RES are represented by subsidy programs financed from the state budget and 
operational programs financed from EU structural funds.  
7. Subsidy per unit, or in cases where this is not possible, the total amount or the annual amount

The program focuses on the development of the Czech Republic`s potential in the field of key 
enabling technologies (KETs) such as photonics, micro - and nano -electronics, nanotechnology, 
industrial biotechnology, advanced materials and advanced manufacturing technologies.  
KETs are knowledge and qualified labour demanding technol ogies that require a crucial share of 
research activities and have fast innovation cycles. These technologies can be applied in new 
products and services with high value added and they will enforce the economic growth and increase 
the competitiveness of th e Czech Republic and the European Union.  
The program aims as well at encouraging effective collaboration in research and development 
between enterprises and research organisations whose low intensity belongs to main weaknesses of 
the national research syst em.

"R&D") in terms of their practical application and to prepare their subsequent commercial use. The 
main objective of the programme is to support and significantly streamline the transformation of 
R&D results achieved in research organizations and/or in collabor ation between research 
organizations and enterprises into practical applications to enable their commercialization and 
support their implementation. The other objective is to promote better cooperation between research 
organizations and enterprises by the way "learning -by-doing ". The programme is divided into 
two sub-programmes with different methods of implementation and recipients.

should have high potential for application in new or improved products, manufacturing processes or 
services with high added value and high probability of increasing the competitiveness. 
Sub-programme 1 is a lso focused on systemic support of the ways of identification, implementation 
and further development of the commercialisation activities in the research organizations. Recipients 
can only be research organizations.  
Sub-programme 2 will be used for synergi es with the Horizon Europe programme. It means that the 
support will be provided, among other things, to projects that succeed in international evaluation, 
but due to lack of funding they were not supported under the instrument. These are, for example,
