Cold temperatures in the Czech Republic have led to an increase in energy consumption, with gas consumption rising by 9.5% year-on-year and electricity consumption rising by almost 7% year-on-year, according to data from Amper Meteo.

The average air temperature was 7.6°C lower than the previous year. However, the Czechs seem to have saved on consumption when adjusted for the weather and the Počerady steam power plant, with savings around 15%. The weather forecast for the coming days predicts warmer temperatures, which should lead to a 14% drop in consumption.
