RIA for the Act on the transition of the Czech Republic to a low-carbon energetics (2020)

In 2020, EEIP prepared a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) for the Ministry of Industry and Trade assessing the measures of transition of the Czech Republic to low-carbon energetics.

The Czech Republic has committed itself to contributing to the goal of a climate-neutral EU by 2050. The National Investment Plan of the Czech Republic 2020–2050 counts with the emission-free energy sources – renewable energy sources and nuclear energy – as the means to achieve the goals.

The support of renewable energy sources has already been regulated by Act No. 165/2012 Coll., on Supported Energy Sources. However, legislation supporting nuclear energy for climate protection has not existed yet. The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) thus assessed the need for such regulation, together with quantification of its costs and benefits and in the similar manner as to the support of renewable sources.
