Czechia generates around 36 TWh annually from its six VVER reactors at Dukovany and Temelín — over 40% of the national supply — making nuclear the backbone of the system. ČEPS, the national TSO, operates the CZ bidding zone synchronously inside the Central European block and runs the OTE day-ahead market. Lignite from the Most basin still provides ~32% of generation but is scheduled to phase out by 2038.
Two new EPR1200-class reactors are under construction at Dukovany — first concrete poured in 2024, commercial operation targeted for 2036. Wind has been politically constrained for decades and contributes under 1% of generation; solar, by contrast, has expanded to over 4 GW following the 2023 net-billing reform.
Czechia is a large net exporter, with around 14 TWh of surplus heading west to Germany and south to Austria each year.
