(CIANEWS) - Due to high energy prices, large electricity and gas consumers will be able to benefit from a new subsidy call from November 1, 2022. Prime Minister Petr Fiala (ODS) said this after a government meeting on September 14, 2022, adding that the state will allocate CZK 30bn to the programme. The maximum support for energy-intensive companies will be CZK 200m. Others will be able to receive a maximum of CZK 45m. The support should mainly concern companies from the manufacturing and mining industries, but also agriculture and forestry.
