Key message
Neutral

Incentives that go against the goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased again after 2021, primarily due to extensive emergency measures introduced in response to rising energy prices. Excluding these temporary measures, the level of such subsidies in 2023 did not change significantly compared to 2020, with their value increasing by approximately 5.7%. The largest share continues to be represented by refunds of excise duties on diesel fuel (38% of all subsidies), followed by feed-in tariffs for natural gas used in CHP plants and excise duty exemptions in the energy sector. Although the emergency measures were necessary and temporary in nature, achieving long-term decarbonisation goals will require a gradual reduction of subsidies that increase GHG emissions, along with stronger measures to reduce energy consumption and enhance energy independence.
