The European legislation sets out objectives for energy savings, and the Czech Republic, like a number of other countries, has serious difficulty meeting these objectives. The legislative framework for the period till 2030 will be still stricter according to the proposals discussed. The study, which has been drawn up at the Confederation’s request, provides for a definition of particular measures for energy savings, identifies the potential of given measures in individual sectors, estimates the cost-efficiency of these measures and mainly calculates the general financial demands and total potential of energy savings in the Czech Republic between 2021 and 2030. The ambitious objectives, however, cannot be implemented without a form of a public support and in this context it is necessary to speak in a magnitude of hundreds of billions of Czech crowns. The Confederation is active in creation of optimum environment for investment in energy savings also in the present period and is an important intermediate link in the discussion between ministries and companies. In this matter we have issued, for examples, a common appeal on the Government of the Czech Republic – http://www.spcr.cz/pro-media/tiskove-zpravy/11528-plneni-evropskych-cilu- energetickych-uspor-je-pro-cr-kriticke. Within the framework of the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation for Competitiveness the Confederation intensively communicates with all parties and regularly comes with initiatives for a better setup of the Programme which should be (in terms of the volume and financial support) the backbone of the support of energy savings in this period.
