Background : The programme aims to support the verification of the results of research and 
development (hereinafter referred to as "R&D") in terms of their practical application and to 
prepare their subsequent commercial use. The main objective of the programme is to support and 
significantly streamline the transformation of R&D results achieved in research organizations 
and/or in collaboration betwe en research organizations and enterprises into practical applications 
to enable their commercialization and support their implementation. The other objective is to 
promote better cooperation between research organizations and enterprises by the way "learni ng-
by-doing ". The programme is divided into two sub -programmes with different methods of 
implementation and recipients.

were created in research organizations (mainly public) by "proof-of-concept " projects. These 
results should have high potential for application in new or improved products, manufacturing 
processes or services with high added value and high probability of increasing the competitiveness. 
Sub-programme 1 is also focused on systemic support of the ways of identification, 
implementation and further development of the commercialisation activities in the research 
organizations. Recipients can only be research organizations.  
Sub-programme 2  is aimed at supporting projects of appl ied research and experimental 
development of enterprises exploiting the research results from research organizations (that could 
be results from basic research as well as applied research). The support will be provided for 
projects involving the completion  of functional prototypes, verification of their properties, 
verification of test series and evaluation of all technological, economic, social, health and other 
impacts of new products or services. Primary recipients can only be enterprises. Research 
organ izations may participate as other project participants.

under Act no. 165/2012 Sb. regulating supported energy sources and amending some acts, and 
under Act no. 180/2005 Sb. regulating the support provided to energy generated from renewable 
energy sources and amending some acts  (act regulating the support provided to the use of 
renewable energy sources) that has been replaced by Act no. 165/2012 Sb. effective from

Pursuant to section 1, subsection 2, the purpose of this act is to protect the climate and the 
environment and to support the use of renewable energy sources, secondary sources and highly 
efficient com bined heat and power cogeneration, to increase the share of renewable energy 
sources in the consumption of primary sources of energy in order to meet the defined objectives, 
to contribute to environment -friendly use of natural sources and to support sustai nable 
development of the society, and to create conditions for meeting the obligatory target of 
renewable energy share in gross final consumption of energy in the Czech Republic, taking into 
account the interest of customers in minimizing the impact of sup port on energy prices for 
customers in the Czech Republic.

4. Background and authority for the subsidy (including identification of the legislation under 
which it is granted ) 
The subsidy is granted under Act no. 180/2005 Sb. regulating the support provided to  generation 
of electricity f rom renewable sources of energy and amending some act s, and  subsequently under 
Act no. 165/2012 Sb. regulation supported energy sources and amending some acts . Both acts 
have been amended over the years.  
Costs for the support of electricity and operational  support for heat are covered by means of the 
market operator from financial resources that consist of : 
a) revenues coming from payments for the total price of electricity  which includes two  
components: price for the distribution network services and price  for th e transmission 
network services;  
b) revenues coming from payments for failure to meet the minimum efficiency value related to 
the use of energy during the process of burning lignite, pursuant to section 6, subsection  5 
of the Act regulating the ener gy management ; 
c) subsidi es coming from the state budget;  
d)  revenues coming from emission permits auctions in line with the Act regulating the  
conditions for trading with glasshouse emission permits  implemented by the ministry.  
5. Form of the subsidy (i.e.,  grant, loan, tax concession, etc .) 
The support is provided as a non -repayable subsidy. The provided amount is determined according 
to the amount of generated electricity (electricity and heat) and has the form of  feed-in tariffs or 
feed-in premiums. Feed -in tariffs or feed -in premiums are determined and published by the Energy 
Regulatory Office in its price decision every year.  
6. To whom and how the subsidy is provided (whether to producers, to exporters, or others;  
through what mechanism;  whether a fixed or  fluctuating amount per unit;  if the latter, how 
determined ) 
The Act defines two forms of operational support for generation of electricity from renewable 
sources of energy: feed -in tariffs and feed -in premiums. It is not possible to combine the two 
forms of support, the producer has to select one of them. Feed -in tariffs are only available for 
selected plants so that the support scheme through feed -in premiums can be given priority. 
Feed-in premiums are paid by the Energy Market Operator (OTE) and the feed -in tariffs are paid 
by a trader that has been appointed by the state as an obligatory buyer of energy. This support is 
then settled between the trader and the Energy Market Operator.  
Feed-in tariffs have been calculated with regard to the wording of secti on 4 of Act No. 165/2012 
Sb. and are set in a way that guarantees producers a simple 15 -year return on  investment within 
the lifetime of the given types of electricity generation plants. Feed -in tariffs are increased 
by 2% during the lifetime of the source  with regard to the index of prices of industrial producers.  
The Energy Regulatory Office defines feed -in premiums with regard to the market price of  
electricity for individual types of renewable energy sources. This system enables the  producer to 
sell his  produced electricity to any customer or electrical energy trader for  a market price and 
receive a feed -in premium as well. The system of feed -in premiums also allows for the 
self-consumption of the produced electricity and apply a feed -in premium for this  self-
consumption.  G/SCM/N/315/EU/Add.6

  7. Subsidy per unit, or in cases where this is not possible, the total amount or the annual 
amount budgeted for that subsidy (indicating, if possible, the average subsidy per unit in the 
previous year).  Where provision of per unit subsidy i nformation (for the year covered by the 
notification, for the previous year, or both) is not possible, a full explanation :

8. For the information cit ed in items 3 to 7 above, the notification does not necessarily have to 
have an independent heading corresponding to each item, and may provide information on 
multiple items in one heading (e. g. provide information on items 3 and 4 under one 
heading).  In this case, the notification must clearly specify what items are covered by which 
heading

10. Statistical data permitting an assessment of the trade effects of t he subsidy.  The specific 
nature and scope of such statistics is left to the judgement of the notifying Member.  To the 
extent possible, relevant and/or determinable, however, it is desirable that such information 
includes statistics of production, consumpti on, imports and exports of the subsidized 
product(s) or sector(s ): 
(a) for the three most recent years for which statistics are available ; G/SCM/N/315/EU/Add.6  
 
- 24 - 
 
  (b) for a previous representative year, which, where possible and meaningful, should be 
the latest year preceding the  introduction of the subsidy or preceding the last major 
change in the subsidy .
