The government is prepared to set maximum electricity prices for both producers and suppliers should prices on the energy market keep rising. Minister Karel Havlíček said this on Sunday on the Partie program on CNN Prima News. irozhlas.cz ↗
The measure would apply to the entire price structure, meaning both electricity producers and suppliers. The government would resort to it if price increases on the energy market continued. Havlíček did not specify at what level any price cap would be set. ihned.cz ↗
Electricity prices have recently been rising again, and the government is therefore considering intervening in the market. So far it has not adopted any concrete measure regarding fuel prices. The Czech Republic wants to coordinate any action against their high prices with neighboring countries. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
Havlíček's statement represents a prepared crisis measure in case of further price increases. Whether a price cap will actually be introduced will depend on further developments on the energy market and on electricity prices. idnes.cz ↗
