The EU energy industry in is becoming increasingly important and its importance can be expected to grow in the future, especially due to security and environmental issues and aspects of liberalization in the energy industry. In addition, state aid, even outside the energy sector, has had a major impact on the subjects of law in the Czech Republic, and that is not only because of the existence of significant grants from the European Union structural funds. The subject of this paper is selected judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union focusing on state aid to the energy industry. The beginning of this paper contains a general discussion of the conditions of energy policy and state aid policy. The following parts of this paper concern selected judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Based on the selected judgments, the aim of this paper is to point out problems of interpretation of the provisions regulating the energy sector and state aid.
