The government has decided on limits for energy support to large enterprises
The limit discussed and decided ranges from a minimum of CZK 48 m to a maximum of CZK 3,6 bn. Five categories of support were established, taking into account economic performance, price increases and their impact on the budget. The highest caps are for companies that have spent at least 3 percent of their annual turnover or at least 6 percent of turnover in the first half of 2022 on energy. The cap on energy prices will remain in place throughout the year, said Industry and Government Minister Jozef Síkela.
In accordance with the Temporary Crisis Framework (DKR) and the basic principle of EU competition law, it is stipulated that if a large entrepreneur is part of a group of related companies or partners, the amount of support in the form of power purchase at fixed prices is limited to this group within the Czech Republic. A large entrepreneur who is part of a group must then ensure that he, a legal person, and the group as a whole do not exceed the maximum allowable capital benefit established.
