Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlíček announced plans for the state to regain control over the production sector of the ČEZ Group. This move is driven by the changing global landscape, where energy policy is now viewed as a matter of national security rather than just resource management. The strategy includes the oversight of nuclear power plants, specifically those units at Temelín. Minister Havlíček indicated that the Temelín nuclear blocks could potentially extend their operational lifespan. The proposal aims to ensure stability and strategic control over the country's energy production. This shift reflects a broader trend of prioritizing energy independence. The government intends to prioritize security over market-driven energy policies.
