EIB survey finds Czechs prioritize energy prices and nuclear

The European Investment Bank has published its eighth Climate Survey, showing Czech public priorities on the energy transition.

• The survey of 23,000 people across all 27 EU Member States found that 77% of Czechs expect less dependence on imported oil and gas, 76% expect steadier or lower prices, and 71% expect slower climate change.
• The article also says 42% of Czechs say rising energy prices significantly cut purchasing power, and that the EIB Group provided €598 million for sustainable energy and natural resources in Czechia in 2025, including a €400 million project with ČEZ Distribution to reinforce and digitalise electricity networks and enable up to 5.5 GW of renewable capacity.
