Act No. 110/2024 on the Environment and Energy Agency.

This Act establishes the Environment and Energy Agency as a state institution under ministerial authority and assigns it broad administrative, regulatory and supervisory responsibilities in environmental, climate, energy and natural-resource matters. Its remit includes pollution control, waste and the circular economy, energy transition and efficiency, air quality, greenhouse-gas inventories and the EU Emissions Trading System, electricity markets, water management, geothermal and other subsurface resources, and the exploration and extraction of energy and other resources on land and beneath the seabed. The Agency advises government, issues permits, enforces legislation, monitors environmental matters, prepares plans and reports, and participates in international cooperation; an independent Electricity Regulatory Authority operates within it for electricity-market supervision. The Act abolishes the former Energy Authority and transfers to the new Agency the functions, rights, obligations, assets and liabilities of that body together with the relevant environmental and climate functions of the former Environment Agency.
