The thesis deal with comparison of the National Energy Concept of the Czech Republic and the European Energy Strategy until 2020, 2030 and 2050. It points out the main goals and strategies of these documents, compares them and analyzes, whether they contain new energy targets or not. The first hypothesis (1) concerns, if the European Union´s energy objectives and strategies are different compare with the objectives and strategies of the Czech Republic´s. The second hypothesis (2) asks, if the official concepts adequately reflect new trends in the energy market. The contribution of this thesis lies in emphasis on different goals of individual energy strategies and in proposing a solution, which could help the Czech Republic get closer to the European Union´s goals. The theoretical part of the thesis introduces the energy market, characterizes energy market and defines the Czech Republic´s energy resources, subjects of the energy market of the Czech Republic, legislation affecting the Czech Republic´s energy market and energy security and independence. In the practical part, the author compares energy concepts and points out the same and different goals of these strategies. The author also focuses on new energy trends and proves that energy concepts do not reflect these new trends adequately. This disproves the hypothesis (2). The author adverts to the goals that the Czech Republic fulfills in the strategy of the European Union´s program but also points out the different goals that the Czech Republic does not fulfill. This disproves the hypothesis (1).

This text will focus on State energy policy of the Czech Republic and its relation to the German Energiewende. Text will try to describe and evaluate importance of energy policy for our country. The document should help us to follow European targets which were set by EU authorities. The situation in energetics has changed a lot since the Czech Republic joined The European Union in 2004 and it is very important to react to current situation in today´s world. It was a necessity to upgrade the document of State energy policy which should reflect latest trends in energetics and the most important international affairs related to energetics. New document should respect European targets and law. On the other hand it has to calculate on future ways which can be followed in this sector.

As part of the fight against global warming, the European Union has opted for increase in support for renewable energy at the cost of conventional sources. This policy was subsequently implemented into national legislation. At the same time, the Czech Republic has framed an Updated State Energy Policy, which sets out the direction for Czech energy to evolve. This thesis tries to analyze whether the Czech Republic is ready for future energy development or not. This analysis shows that the Czech Republic is not entirely ready to provide energy stability in the context of a transforming market.

The thesis compares the geographical, economic and legislative conditions of establishing a photovoltaic power plant in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The introductory part of the thesis deals primarily with the use of energy in the history of human society. The paper presents not only different types of renewable resources but also explains some important facts about these resources. The main objective of this paper is to quantify the level of financial support for renewable energy sources in the Czech Republic by 2016, with a forecast for 2020, and to analyse the impact on the price of electricity for the end customer. The paper shows a clear picture of individual payments of consumers for electricity consumption in Prague using the three most common tariffs of PRE, jsc. A partial objective is to map the historical, legislative and political developments in the field of renewable energy sources in the EU and the Czech Republic. The paper describes different support possibilities for renewable energy sources including related subsidy for the energy sector. The final part of the paper focuses on overall evaluation of the current situation of renewable resources and gives proposals for change.

The Bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of use of renewable energy sources in the Czech Republic and in the Republic of Austria in the period of 2004 - 2015. The thesis analyzes the particular renewable sources from the efficiency point of view, as well as from the point of view of their share on total gross energy consumption. The issue of renewable sources is considered to be a very insistent topic politically, economically and environmentally. Both countries are governed by the European Union legislation, which has been very intensively focusing on the energy policy, and which determines a large scale of obligations for all the EU member states. The theoretical part is dedicated to the specifications of renewable sources and their development in both the countries since 2004. The first part describes the legislative development of renewable sources in the both countries and from the perspective of the European Union. The next part compares the retail and wholesale electricity prices in both the countries. In the end of the theoretical part I am describing the coherence between renewable sources, sustainable development and the environmental theory. The practical part contains an analysis of the total current use of particular renewable sources in the Czech Republic and in Austria. It provides the analysis of the future development of renewable sources and describes the both countries visions that aim to increase the share of renewable sources of the total energy consumption. The outcome of this Bachelors thesis is a comparative analysis of renewable sources, which, based on the mentioned data, demonstrates an objective comparison of both the power industries in this area. Using the data comparison methodology, it becomes obvious that the share renewable sources of the total gross electricity consumption achieves 70 percent in Austria, while only 14 percent in the Czech Republic. This Bachelors thesis provides an analysis of the current status of renewable sources in both the national power industries, as well as the economic insight on the green energy in neighbouring countries.

This thesis analyses the energy mix of the Czech Republic with a focus on the use and development options of individual types of renewable energy sources. It also considers economics of renewable energy especially in terms of production cost of electricity and the impact on the prices of electricity. The paper further analyses the current subsidies related of renewable energy sources in the country and forecasts such subsidies to 2030. The topic of the work is very timely as the future direction of the energy sector is the subject of intensive debate and negotiations, both at the level of the EU and the Czech Republic, namely in the State Energy Policy of the Czech Republic. The theoretical part defines the issue of renewable sources of energy and legislation related to the issue. It also deals with assessing the arguments of proponents and opponents of renewable energy sources and theoretical approaches related to renewable energy, specifically environmental and behavioral theories. Behavioral theory has a significant influence on decisions about the future direction of energy. The practical part focuses on the analysis of various types of renewable resources and subsidies related to renewable energy sources in the country. Furthermore we compare the models of energy systems and energy mixes of Czech republic and Germany, from both the current and future perspectives. We also evaluate the relationship of populations of the Czech Republic and Germany to renewable energy, which leads to the hypothesis that the development of renewable energy sources depends to some extent on political ambitions and objectives of the ruling establishment.

This thesis deals with the role of renewable energy sources in the Czech Republic and stresses the importance of various sources of renewable energy and the possibilities for further development, according to the draft of the updated State Energy Policy. The second part of this thesis focuses on the situation of hydro power plants in the Czech Republic with a closer examination of support for this resource. The thesis documents methods and possibilities of operational and investment subsidies, while simultaneously exploring the possibility of using structural funds of European Union in the construction of hydroelectric power plants. The practical part consists of an elaborated business plan for the construction of specific hydroelectric power. The result of this work is an evaluation of the project and the finding that the given investment opportunity is very attractive for the investor. Timeliness of the thesis is mainly in the fact that the work is based on the new situation that has arisen out of the updated legislation on support for renewable energy sources.

The thesis analyses market of renewable energy sources in the period 2005-2015 with a focus on the assessment of the usage and development potential of individual types of renewable energy sources. It also assessing the energy security of these types from the technical, economic and political perspective. Thesis is also engaged in energy efficiency and economy of each type, including analysis of the current promotion of renewable energy sources. A topic of thesis is very discussed and current issue, mainly due to the dynamic of energy policy environment at EU level and at national level. The theoretical part describes the issue of renewable energy, related legislativ, both EU level, national level and the level of global energy agreements. Further, the thesis deals with the Czech energy mix, energy intensity of the Czech economy and the proportion of renewable energy sources. At the end, theoretical part describes the Environmental theory as an important factor influencing the development of renewable energy sources. The practical part is then further analyzed the each type of rewenable energy source, their economic reality, energy security, efficiency and potential in the Czech Republic. It is also approched the issue of subsidies as an important element of the development of renewable energy sources. The comparison of the findings and evaluation of this comparison confirm the hypothesis that the most promising renewable energy source for the future development is currently the biomass in the both forms of wet and dry processes.

The short rotation coppice production presents an important renewable natural resource. With respect to growing interest of society in the environmental sustainability there is general importance of coppice plantation. The plantation establishment is investment with a long payback. Therefore, decision has to be made whether this reality is favou-rable for the farmers and does not discourage them from this kind of non-food produ-cing land usage. The assessment of this hypothesis is based on the comparative analysis of Czech, Germany and Swedish models of plantations profitability. As a result, taking advantage of the subsidies is in place considering the negative results of Czech Republic profit. Germany and Sweden produce a positive profit even without any subsidies con-sidered. The comparison would have to be extended by the costs of foregone oppor-tunities factor to be able to consider the need of subsidies in such countries

The aim of this work is a study of the current energy policy of the European Union. Current issues such as energy security and independence, increasing savings and reducing greenhouse gas emissions are particularly analyzed. EU has chosen a gradual transition to renewable energy sources as a possible solution for these problematic areas. This very process and its impact on the economy are also the subjects of this study. Energetics itself is a complex and difficult discipline, theoretical part, therefore, serves as the demarcation of the issue and specifically states the chosen direction of this work. It defines the important concepts, which are sustainable development and energy policy. In this part, I introduce the reader to my point of view and set individual targets whose solutions I expect in relation with the EU. The practical part is devoted to prove the validity of the main hypothesis. I have reached the conclusion that the EU really substitutes more and more fossil fuels with the alternative ones which is according to the set priorities of the energy safety and environmental protection the path towards sustainable energy development. I have chosen the analysis of macroeconomics indicators of unemployement and GDP to verify the statement that the developement of the renewable sources has a positive impact on the economy. However, according to the achievements, the sector of renewable energy sources has not a very strong influence to be able to affect significantly the monitored indicators in a long run. The conclusion of the practical part is devoted to the analysis of the energetic concept in the Czech Republic, identification of the main priorities and analysis of the position of the Czech Republic within the energy policy across the European Union.

In this thesis will be processed budgets on the basis shall be calculated capital expenditures and cash income from investments (cash flow).

Use of compressed natural gas (CNG) as an alternative transportation fuel is currently being supported in European Union and Czech Republic as well. Upgraded Biogas (or biomethane) with its chemical characteristics is to be considered as a renewable substitute of CNG so it can be used for the same purposes. Biogas is produced in biogas stations. Current legislation terminates the support of producers of electricity and heat from renewable sources, including biogas stations. The absence of governmental support will endanger their existence. Producing of biomethane and using it in transportation is an alternative option for the owners of biogas stations. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to conduct an economic analysis of biomethane producing costs. On the basis of the results obtained, we will be able to say whether producing od biomethane is reasonable in Czech Republic. Then we will try to establish whether the use of biomethane in transportation is possible according to Czech legislative terms or what possible legislative amendments should be implemented.

In the context of the fight against global warming, the European Union decided to lead by example and show the rest of the World that is possible to conduct sustainable environmental policy in practice. For this purpose mass support for renewable energy and effort to reduce the importance of nuclear energy were introduced. Germany went with this policy the furthest. Their geographical location and size of the market affects the whole Central European region and thus the Czech Republic. This paper primarily attempts analyze ways to support renewable energy sources and nuclear power in the EU with a closer focus on the Czech Republic and their impact on the energy market. This paper analyzes the impact of RES support and development in near future. The conclusion proposed by the paper is that the current policy of the EU in the energy sector rather causes destabilization of the entire energy network and the associated risks.

This bachelor's thesis investigate how electricity from renewable energy sources changes the price of electricity on wholesale market. I used data from the Germany in the year 2013 and because of high correlation between the Czech and the German wholesale price of electricity. Therefore I assume that the same effect operate also in the Czech Republic. By using a regression analysis, I prove that an increase in the RES, precisely wind and photovoltaic, electricity production does significantly lowers the price of electricity on wholesale market. Results show that size of consumption, prise of gas and price of allowances have a significant impact on wholesale price.
