Separately, the Czech Energy Regulator (ERU) announced it will seek guarantees from suppliers that they can meet customer needs, speeding up oversight after one of the country’s largest electricity and gas groups, Bohemia Energy, halted operations due to price hikes in Europe.

The ERU has asked all 434 licensed energy suppliers in the Czech Republic to provide documents on deliveries to household and business customers by the end of next week.

ERU President Stanislav Travnicek said he wants guarantees that suppliers have not engaged in what he called “gambling in the markets”.

Major suppliers such as CEZ had to step in after the closure of Bohemia Energy.

As in other European countries, the government in Prague is seeking to ease the burden of rising energy prices on households, for example by issuing “energy vouchers” to help struggling families cover the cost of their bills.

CEZ is also present on the Romanian market.
