Božková, Kateřina
The final thesis deals with the development of community energy in connection with the use of the potential of renewable energy sources within the territory of LAG Brána Vysočina. The main goal is the identification of the potential development of community energy and the use of renewable energy sources. As part of the theoretical anchoring of the issue, the literature search was focused on presenting the development of energy in the Czech Republic and the EU, explaining the concept of community energy and its barriers and opportunities associated with it. Furthermore, some examples of energy communities within the EU, initiatives on the territory of the Czech Republic are presented, and the entire literature review is concluded by the legislation of the Czech Republic related to community energy. An important aspect of the final thesis is the view of the member municipalities of LAG Brána Vysočina on the issue of community energy and the use of RES. A questionnaire from Enkis, s.r.o. was used to collect qualitative data and a semistructured interview with fourteen respondents. The goal is to evaluate the approach of individual respondents to the concept of community energy, perception of barriers and possibilities for the development of this concept. Based on the information obtained, general conclusions can be drawn indicating that the respondents perceive the development of community energy as beneficial, but at the same time rather problematic from the point of view of the absence of legislative grasp. Furthermore, the financial barrier is often mentioned, due to the lack of funds for the implementation of the energy community. Technological obstacles in terms of energy infrastructure are also pointed out.
