Last year's gas consumption in Czechia was lowest in eight years, says ERÚ

Last year’s gas consumption in Czechia was the lowest in eight years. In total, Czechs consumed 7.544 billion cubic metres, down by a fifth year on year. Adjusted for the long-term temperature norm, it was the lowest at least since 2001. The Czech News Agency (ČTK) was informed today by the Energy Regulatory Office (ERÚ). Electricity consumption also fell last year, by 3.9 percent year on year, according to the regulator.

Gas consumption in the country fell year on year in every month of last year, with the sharpest drop of 33.3 percent in May. „Overall, consumption was the lowest in eight years. Adjusted for average temperatures, it was actually the lowest ever recorded since 2001, when ERÚ began keeping statistics on the operation of the gas system,“ said Stanislav Trávníček, chair of the ERÚ Council.
