Czechia has 462 power plants in this atlas, with 16,872 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Temelín (2,133 MW, nuclear; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are solar, coal and hydro. Grid operators listed here include ČEPS. Electricity is regulated by ERÚ. Renewables supplied 16.9% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
Grid operators and electricity market in Czechia
Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail
Nuclear and coal plants supply most power. OTE runs the national market, coupled with the EU exchanges.
Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.
What does “Liberalised market” mean?
Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.
