Energetická závislost České republiky na dovozu ropy a zemního plynu z Ruska v letech 2012–2022

The main aim of this thesis is to evaluate the import dependence of the Czech Republic (CR) on oil and natural gas from Russia in the period 2012-2021.The thesis also seeks to assess the state of oil and natural gas consumption in the Czech Republic in these years and finally offers a view on the state of oil and natural gas imports from Russia in 2022. The theoretical part of the thesis outlines the theoretical concepts related to energy dependence and security at the level of states or international organizations. The practical part of the thesis is presented the analysis of Eurostat data and own calculations. Some of the indicators used in this thesis were developed by the European Commission for the purpose of the Member State's Energy Dependence report: An Indicator-Based Assessment and in this thesis, they have been applied to new data, i.e., for the examined period for the case of the Czech Republic. These include concentration and import dependence indicators. The research in this thesis indicated a gradual slight shift of the Czech Republic away from oil and gas imports from Russia in the period 2012-2021, although the overall import dependence of the Czech Republic showed an increasing trend in the years studied. In contrast, the year 2022, which was analysed based on preliminary monthly data from the Czech Statistical Office (CSO), brought a more significant shift away from Russian supplies, as it was related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The practical part of the thesis also includes some impacts and alternative solutions to the shortfall of oil and gas supplies from Russia.
