Michaela Ševčíková Spoke at an Expert Discussion on the Updated Czech National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP)

On March 25, 2025, Michaela Ševčíková participated in a moderated expert discussion on the updated Czech National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP). The event took place at the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU) under the auspices of the European Climate Initiative (EUKI).

The discussion brought together representatives from academia, public administration (e.g. the Ministry of the Environment, Energy Regulatory Office, ČEPS), the Czech Academy of Sciences, the business sector, and other key stakeholders.

Key topics discussed included:

  • The ambition level of the NECP in relation to EU requirements

  • Instruments for achieving the defined targets

  • Energy storage capacity – the Czech Republic’s preparedness for the development of battery storage and other technologies

  • Linkages with electromobility and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology – strategic interconnections between the development of electromobility and energy system flexibility

  • Use of heat pumps – their integration potential within policies aimed at improving energy efficiency in buildings

  • Supplementing controllable renewable capacities – the role of biogas and biomethane in electricity and heat generation

  • Preparation for green hydrogen and Power-to-X (P2X) technologies – measures for developing renewable hydrogen production

  • Dynamic tariffs and demand-side modulation – tools for more flexible energy demand management
