Červenka, Jan ; Ďurďovič, Martin
In the period from the first half of September to the beginning of November 2022, a block of questions devoted to energy issues was included in the regular research of Our Society. Part of the questions focused on the transition of the energy industry to cleaner, more environmentally friendly energy sources in the production of heat and electricity. The survey specifically investigated how citizens evaluate the frugality of various energy sources in terms of the impact of their use on the environment, how they perceive the success or failure of the transition to cleaner sources in the Czech Republic, whether, in their opinion, the state should support the use of renewable energy sources, how it is important for them, whether the electricity they consume in their household comes from renewable sources, and whether they use or plan to use renewable sources for the production of heat or electricity, either in a community, such as multiple households within an apartment building, municipality or part of it , or independently in your own household.\nPeople perceive solar radiation, water currents and wind blowing as the most environmentally friendly sources of electricity production, while burning coal is considered the least environmentally friendly.\n36% of Czech citizens consider the transition to cleaner energy successful, 44% consider it unsuccessful.\nA large majority (93%) of the Czech public is inclined to the opinion that the state should support the use of renewable energy sources, but only two fifths (41%) attach importance to whether the electricity in their household is from renewable sources.\nWithin a certain community, 4% of citizens use renewable sources for heat production, and 4% use them individually in their household for heat production. Another 5% plan it as part of a community and 8% plan it individually in their household.\n6% of citizens use electricity from renewable sources as part of a community, and 6% use it individually in their household, 8% and 11% of others have plans to do so.\nOverall, about three-fifths of respondents (59%) said that neither in the community nor individually do they use and do not plan to use renewable sources to generate electricity or heat.

The public on energy management - autumn 2022
Červenka, Jan ; Ďurďovič, Martin
In the period from the first half of September to the beginning of November 2022, a block of questions devoted to energy issues was included in the regular research of Our Society. Part of the questions focused on the issue of energy management. The survey specifically investigated how the households of the respondents manage to cover the costs of electricity, fuel and water consumption, whether they have concerns regarding the provision of heating in the Czech Republic, what, in their opinion, are the possibilities of reducing energy consumption in their household and whether the development of the energy market will make their household to reduce consumption.\nAlmost half (47%) of the respondents' households find it difficult to cover the costs of electricity consumption, the share of those who find it difficult to cover the costs of natural gas or solid fuels was around two fifths of the households that use them (43% for natural gas, 39% for solid fuels).\nAccording to respondents, three out of ten households find it difficult to cover the costs of water consumption.\nCompared to 2018, the situation with paying the costs of electricity, fuel and water consumption worsened, most significantly in the case of electricity consumption, where the share of those who have difficulty paying these costs increased from 26% to 47%.\nDifficulties in covering the costs of electricity, fuel and water consumption are strongly dependent on the income situation and standard of living of the household, but also on its composition, with households in which people live alone having a relatively worse situation.\nThree quarters (74%) of Czechs expressed concern about the provision of heating in the Czech Republic.\nOnly 7% of respondents think that there are big opportunities to reduce energy consumption in their home, 30% see none and 60% see only small ones.\nAt the same time, three-quarters (75%) of Czechs thought that the development of the energy market would force them to reduce consumption, and a quarter (25%) thought that significantly.
