Czechia limits renewable acceleration zones to 297 km²

297 km² instead of the 2,685 km² the previous government had promised the EU; 61 of 110 areas remain, 49 of them for wind

Industry Minister Karel Havlíček pointed to penalties running into billions through the recovery plan if no zones were designated at all; environmental groups and the renewables association criticised the decision (oEnergetice, 27 Jul 2026).
