Individual resources are characterized in terms of natural conditions of Czech Republic and their usability in recent years. Major advantages and disadvantages of particular renewable resources are covered as well. Available long-term potential of renewable resources is estimated, future vision concerning renewable resources is mentioned and analysis of individual factors influencing development of renewable resources is conducted in this paper.
