As reported in the annual report by the profile portal oEnergetice.cz
In 2025, the Czech Republic increased electricity exports by 18% compared with the previous year, with the largest deliveries concentrated to Austria and Slovakia.
According to the annual review, the country’s net trade balance stood at 7.56 TWh, up 18% from the 2024 figure.
Key export destinations
The majority of Czech electricity exports went to Austria, with Slovakia in second place. At the same time, the Czech Republic continues to import electricity from its main neighbours – primarily from Germany and Poland.
Production trends and future prospects
In previous years, electricity exports from the Czech Republic had been declining, but 2025 brought growth largely thanks to increased output at local power plants – the first since 2021. Experts and analysts note that such trends may change in light of plans to close certain coal-fired capacities.
In 2025, renewable energy sources continued to strengthen their influence on the Czech energy sector – their share of total production stood at about 17%.
Total net electricity production in 2025 amounted to 71.4 TWh, up 3.8% from the previous year.
Infrastructure and regulatory changes
ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity, increased the maximum possible export capacity from Ukraine and Moldova by 300 MW – to 2,450 MW, affecting cross-border potential and interaction with neighboring energy markets.
