In 2014, the new National Energy Concept will come into action. The proposed version from spring 2010 states<ref>http://www.mpo.cz/dokument5903.html</ref> that the field of coal energy should be supported and further developed as an important source of heat mainly. Highly efficient and clean technologies of coal transformation should be used. In order to eliminate the dependence of energy import, all available coal supplies should be exploited, including those beyond current mining limits which were set by the Government Resolution No. 444/1991. | In 2014, the new National Energy Concept will come into action.
