Summary/Abstract: In recent months, solar power has shone a poor light on renewable energy in the Czech Republic. With media reports blaming higher energy bills on solar power, it is not surprising that the Energy Regulatory Office (ERO) wants to cut subsidies and add a tax on solar energy that would affect solar power companies and investors alike. But green energy experts worry that discouraging investment in solar energy in this way could spell bad news for renewable energy—an industry that many believe has undeveloped economic potential for the Czech Republic.
