For period October 2022 – December 2023, the fee for supported energy sources (POZE) was waived for households purchasing electricity.

For period January – December 2023, energy price ceiling was implemented.

Fee for supported energy sources (POZE) – was waived from October 2022 to December 2023. Price Decision of the Energy Regulatory Office No. 8/2022 of September 2, 2022 was released for October to December 2022, Price Decision of the Energy Regulatory Office No. 13/2022 of November 14, 2022 for January to December 2023.

Energy price ceilings – for period January – December 2023 by government decree (No. 298/2022 Coll. of October 5, 2022). The relevant energy indices continue to be calculated using the same methodology. However, from January 2023 administratively influenced prices (price ceilings) are included in the calculation.

Consumer price index without including influence of POZE waiver would have in February reached a value 100.6% month-on-month, of which for electricity 99.9%, so it would be equal to officially published indices. It would reach a value 117.3% year-on-year (instead of 116.7%), of which for electricity 142.2% (instead of 132.0%).

Detailed methodology explanation of the inclusion of POZE waiver in a calculation of consumer price index was published together with News release for October 2022.
