Summary/Abstract: The following text offers an evaluation of the current state of European energy policy in relation to the goals set in the "20-20-20" agenda and provides an overview of the tasks facing the European Union today. // Energy policy has been one of the most discussed topics within the European Union in the last five years. Environmental and climate changes, as well as events in the area of security of electricity and natural gas supplies, have brought new impulses that deeply affect the energy sector of the EU and the Czech Republic as part of it. The European Union is entering a new era of energy relations. Import dependence has reached 50%, and with the depletion of domestic supplies, its further growth is certain. However, the importance of renewable energy sources is also growing, which is connected with the need to adapt the energy infrastructure to this method of electricity production.
