Czech Republic has large reserves of coal, which it uses extensively for power generation. The cumulative installed capacity for power in Czech Republic was estimated at 18,261 MW in 2009, with thermal fuel sources contributing a share of 63.3%. Majority of the thermal power generation was achieved through coal-fired power plants. However, the country is now aiming to reduce its dependence and usage of coal for power generation since it emits large volumes of greenhouse gases. It also uses natural gas for power generation. However due to insufficient reserves in the country, it imports most of its gas requirements from other countries such as Russia. Hence the government is now focusing on renewable energy sources and is also augmenting its nuclear installed capacity.
