Současná energetická politika Evropské Unie a její vliv na tvorbu energetické politiky České Republiky

The aim of this work is to map the current energy policy of the EU and the Czech Republic with emphasis on the legislative and non-legislative part. The subject of the analysis is mainly the current EU policy in relation to energy policy and its subsequent impact on the autonomy of formulating and implementing the energy policy of the Czech Republic. In energy matters, the EU sets itself the primary goal of protecting the environment, in many cases without taking sufficient account of economic or security risks.However, in order to be able to analyze the influence of the EU, it is necessary to define the issue and more specifically specify the chosen direction of this work. The first part of the theoretical part contains the basis of the theory of public choice and its relationship to the functioning of the EU. The next section describes the development, characteristics and general legal framework of EU energy policy. Emphasis is placed on the latest legislative package, the so-called Winter Package. The last part of the theoretical part defines the legal framework in the field of energy and presents the primary strategic documents of the energy policy of the Czech Republic.The practical part is mainly devoted to proving the validity of the central hypothesis. I conclude that, in the area of security, the EU has demonstrably supported renewables as a primary source at the expense of nuclear energy. In the field of economic efficiency, the results of my work show that renewable sources are a more expensive source than nuclear energy, which in practice implies higher costs associated with the final price of electricity for consumers and also limits the implementation of the State Energy Concept. On the issue of the principle of national sovereignty, I conclude that the current direction of the EU is contrary to Article 194 of the Treaty of Lisbon. The conclusion of the practical part is devoted to the potential development of primary energy sources such as nuclear energy and renewable sources.
