[[Nuclear power]] presently provides about 30 percent of the total power needs, its share is projected to increase to 40 percent. In 2005, 65.4 percent of electricity was produced by steam and combustion power plants (mostly coal); 30 percent by nuclear plants; and 4.6 percent came from renewable sources, including hydropower. The largest Czech power resource is [[Temelín Nuclear Power Station]], with another nuclear power plant in [[Dukovany Nuclear Power Station|Dukovany]]. The Czech Republic is reducing its dependence on highly polluting low-grade [[Lignite|brown coal]] as a source of energy. Natural gas is purchased from [[Norway|Norwegian]] companies and as liquefied gas LNG from the [[Netherlands]] and [[Belgium]]. In the past, three-quarters of gas supplies came from [[Russia]], but after the outbreak of the [[War in Ukraine (2022)|war in Ukraine]], the government gradually stopped these supplies.<ref>{{Cite web |title='V lednu ani kubík.'
