The sources explored in the thesis include the power of the sun, water, wind and other. All of the resources are specified in terms of their operation, their history and their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, the thesis also focuses on the devices that are most frequently used for each source to generate electricity. The concluding section sets out certain regions of the Czech Republic and on the basis of their results, it proposes recommendations, which sources should be supported the most within the regional politics. The data for each region are collected through official statistics and interviews with employees working for E.ON Energy, a.s.
