Public Lecture on the Trends in the European Energy Market Development

The lecturer clarified that the progress of technologies, strive for more and more energy effectiveness and environmental protection by using renewable energy sources had led to intensive gasification, increase the capacity for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in a world scale and switching the coal-fired power plants to gas-fired power plants. It means that there is a smooth transition from one to another kind of energy power plant. No matter how useful are the new energy sources the trend towards an increase in the electricity price is the only trend for the future, pointed out Mr. Král.
