This afternoon, President Pavel continued his working meetings with a debate on the energy transformation of the region with representatives of the energy sector at Jezeří Castle, which stands on the edge of a brown coal quarry. "We do not have a clear and understandable plan for how to transform our energy sector in the coming years, nor do we have a complete picture of the state of the energy sector that would take into account not only the situation in our country but also in other countries. Therefore, we agreed with the roundtable participants that we need to develop a clear plan at least until 2030 and also a clear timetable to ensure energy security for our country," President Paul said.
