The document summarizes the activities of the Czech RE Agency, a non-governmental organization that supports renewable energy development in the Czech Republic. The agency is involved in projects related to research and development, promotion, education and training on renewable energy sources such as photovoltaics. It also creates maps and databases to track renewable energy installations across the country and analyzes legislation and incentives to further renewable energy adoption.

14. Study and Methodology of Feed-in Tariff of RES Study has focused on feed-in tariff of RES, especially of PV and recommends amendments for new renewable energy act in the Czech Republic (implementing i.a. Directive 2001/77/EC on the promotion of electricity produced from RES in the internal electricity market).
