The Bachelor thesis deals with the comparison of use of renewable energy sources in the Czech Republic and in the Republic of Austria in the period of 2004 - 2015. The thesis analyzes the particular renewable sources from the efficiency point of view, as well as from the point of view of their share on total gross energy consumption. The issue of renewable sources is considered to be a very insistent topic politically, economically and environmentally. Both countries are governed by the European Union legislation, which has been very intensively focusing on the energy policy, and which determines a large scale of obligations for all the EU member states. The theoretical part is dedicated to the specifications of renewable sources and their development in both the countries since 2004. The first part describes the legislative development of renewable sources in the both countries and from the perspective of the European Union. The next part compares the retail and wholesale electricity prices in both the countries. In the end of the theoretical part I am describing the coherence between renewable sources, sustainable development and the environmental theory. The practical part contains an analysis of the total current use of particular renewable sources in the Czech Republic and in Austria. It provides the analysis of the future development of renewable sources and describes the both countries visions that aim to increase the share of renewable sources of the total energy consumption. The outcome of this Bachelors thesis is a comparative analysis of renewable sources, which, based on the mentioned data, demonstrates an objective comparison of both the power industries in this area. Using the data comparison methodology, it becomes obvious that the share renewable sources of the total gross electricity consumption achieves 70 percent in Austria, while only 14 percent in the Czech Republic. This Bachelors thesis provides an analysis of the current status of renewable sources in both the national power industries, as well as the economic insight on the green energy in neighbouring countries.
