^{FUTURE OF ENERGETICS} – Can nuclear fusion be closer than we think? The best source known to mankind is located in space approximately 150 million kilometres from us, generating power for billions of years and for billions of years to come. Unfortunately, there is a small catch to it: It has regular, approximately 12-hour outages every day and there are some delivery problems every now and then – especially when it is cloudy. more

^{NATURAL GAS} – How does the plan look for limiting natural gas consumption in case of problems with natural gas supply? The natural gas consumption in the Czech Republic is about eight billion cubic meters nowadays, meaning the consumption of this fuel basically keeps dropping – during the harsh winter of 2001, the consumption was 8.88 billion cubic meters. While necessary for numerous businesses, many households tend to opt out of using natural gas in favour of other forms of heating or water heating. Most of the gas, more than 60 percent, is consumed in the upcoming heating season in particular. more

^{ELECTRICITY–} After more than 100 years since the start of electrification, direct current can return to distribution networks. This is mostly influenced by the development of consumer electronics, which use DC in the vast majority of cases, as well as renewable sources, which produce this type of power most of the time. In small power plants or large buildings, exclusively direct current networks can start making sense in the near future. more

In the next ten years, the supervisor of the Czech transfer company ČEPS is going to invest 50 billion crowns into the development and renewal of the distribution network. However, they do not know yet if they are going to be able to cover part of the budget from European structural funds, since the ministry of industry has already been trying to get 7 billion crown for high voltage network construction, said E15.. more

^{NUCLEAR POWER} – In April, ČEZ has decided that construction will remain unfinished for now. Low power costs mean that the project currently does not make sense from an economical standpoint. There is currently no banking institution which would agree to support the project with a high enough financial amount. Naturally for this situation, the state has decided to guarantee a buy-out price against the idea. more
