Ekonomická analýza energetického práva
Vystrčil, Filip
This thesis deals in detail with the economic analysis of energy law from the perspective of sanctions for offences defined in more detail by Czech and European legislation. The aim was to identify individual sanctions resulting from the Energy Act and to compare their effectiveness with the development of earnings before taxes of selected companies. The main finding was that the performance of energy companies and penalties for offences do not evolve at the same pace. The thesis concludes by recommending an amendment to the Energy Act to modify the existing categories of offences and to increase the maximum amount of fines set at a 'fixed rate' by at least the average increase in the consumer price index.

Determinants influencing electricity prices
Plšíková, Kristína ; Buus, Tomáš (advisor) ; Krejcar, Rostislav (referee)
The aim of this work is to characterize the main determinants influencing the development of electricity prices. Beginnings are dedicated to the description of regulated elements of electricity bill and their development over the last period. The second part deals with power electricity and its development in the spot and futures market. The paper describes the emergence of energy prices on the market and the main determinants affecting the supply and demand curves, such as the price of emission allowances, increasing production from renewable energy and the price of energy raw materials. Part of the work is also analysis of the impact of market coupling on the market price of electricity daily market. The conclusion is devoted to seasonal fluctuations in electricity prices representing the time series.

The Economics of Wind Energy
Ryvolová, Ivana ; Zemplinerová, Alena (advisor) ; Žák, Milan (referee) ; Štěpán, Vladimír (referee)
The presented work examines the special characteristics of electricity produced by the wind as a renewable resource into which considerable hopes are being placed. Production of electricity from wind, as well as from other renewable sources, is a subject of many legislatively enshrined preferential rules. These subsidies and regulatory provisions help the energy producers but represent additional costs to every final customer and tax payer. The aim of this work is to analyse the key arguments of wind energy advocates, which are 1) economic advantage of this production due to zero costs for 'fuel' and 2) negligible burden on the environment due to zero carbon dioxide emissions. The work takes into account all aspects of wind energy production, including their financial and extra-financial implications, and shows their indefensibility in economic terms and in terms of environmental protection. Besides, I have attempted to identify institutional aspects and forms of government which is known to give interest groups a chance to succeed in their rent-seeking activities and as a result allow prosperity of the above-mentioned ineffective energy production. Attention is also paid to the observation that, given the specific technological features of electricity production from the wind, it is not possible to fully apply the conclusions of a traditional theory of economic regulation onto the current position of key players in the electricity market.

Economic aspects of the production of electricity from the sun in the Czech Republic
Sikyta, Adam ; Ryvolová, Ivana (advisor) ; Zemplinerová, Alena (referee)
The member states of the European Union (including the Czech Republic) adopted the socalled indicative planning documents and so made a legally binding emission reduction commitment. Specific economic and political measures followed and the situation on the energy market started to change dramatically. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview and analysis of the structural changes in the Czech energy market with an emphasis on photovoltaic energy sources. This paper deals with all economic aspects affecting energy production in photovoltaic power plants in the Czech Republic. The primary method of this paper is comparing the economic and political measures linked with energies and emission reduction in the Czech Republic with statistic data of installed power output of photovoltaic arrays.
