Czechs consider independence to be the main advantage of the energy transformation. They have outpaced Europe.

A survey by the European Investment Bank reveals that most Europeans view energy independence as the main benefit of energy transformation, a perspective that Czechs adopted earlier than others. The survey, conducted across all EU member states, indicates that 77% of Czechs expect reduced dependence on imported oil and gas from the transformation. While Europe leans towards renewable sources, 47% of Czechs prioritize nuclear energy. Rising energy prices have significantly impacted purchasing power, with many reducing spending on essentials. The survey highlights concerns about energy poverty affecting vulnerable populations.
