Report: An extraordinary September in Czech energy. Weather had a major impact on electricity generation

The power sector in the Czech Republic was significantly affected by the weather in September this year. While generation from solar power plants lagged behind the trend seen so far this year, generation from hydroelectric and wind power plants rose exceptionally. Statistics, meanwhile, show that generation from fossil fuels continues to decline. A new monthly report shows how the Czech energy sector is evolving.  

The Czech energy sector continues to feel the effects of high electricity prices. Electricity consumption also declined slightly in September and remains approximately 1 % lower for the year as a whole than in the same period last year. This is at least what statistics from the transmission system operator, published through the ENTSO-E platform, show.

Electricity generation recorded a noticeably worse result. Despite a slight increase in September, total electricity generation this year is nearly 5 % lower than in the comparable period last year.
