The average price for one megawatt-hour of energy will nearly double, from CZK 1,700 to CZK 3,120 (EUR 122.40), excluding VAT (value added tax).

At the most common rates, customers can expect their costs to rise by a third.

This is lower than the megawatt-hour price partly due to the fact that regulated payments currently remain the same.

The increase does not apply to customers who have a contractually fixed price.
