Invitation to Testing – EVOZED Credit System
We are developing the system of Records of Renewable Energy Use in Transport (EVOZED) and, following the forthcoming issuance of the relevant implementing regulation, we are ready to commence operation of the Credit System.
The introduction of the Credit System further expands the possibilities for the use of renewable energy sources in transport and the instruments for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Before its launch, we offer entities for which the Credit System is intended by law the opportunity to become familiar with the Credit System in a secure test environment, test its functionality and gain practical experience.
User testing for entities for which the Credit System is intended by law will take place from 18 to 20 November 2026.
If you are interested in participating in the testing of the Credit System within EVOZED, it is necessary to complete the EVOZED Testing Application Form, which can be found on our website at the following link: EVOZED Testing Application Form.
The completed application form should be sent to services@ote-cr.cz no later than 31 October 2026.
Additional information regarding the Credit System can be found on the market operator’s website: www.ote-cr.cz – Basic Information.
Organizational instructions for the testing will be sent to registered participants during the week commencing 2 November 2026.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via evozed@ote-cr.cz or use the telephone contact details provided on our website.
To participate in the Credit System after its launch, it is necessary to have entered into an agreement with OTE, a.s. Further details can be found here.
We will provide information on the launch date of the Credit System following the issuance of the relevant implementing regulation.
We look forward to your participation.

Postponement of the Launch of Guarantees of Origin Auctions and the Credit System Due to the Absence of an Implementing Decree
Due to the absence of an implementing decree to Act No. 165/2012 Coll., on Supported Energy Sources, the schedule for the launch of both Guarantees of Origin auctions and the credit system within Records of Renewable Energy Use in Transport (EVOZED) has been changed.
This implementing decree is a necessary condition for the launch of both mechanisms. For this reason, it is not possible to:
- hold the first Guarantees of Origin auction on the originally planned date in July 2026;
- make the credit system, i.e. Records of Renewable Energy Use in Transport (EVOZED), available as of 1 July 2026.
Once further information on the entry into force of the implementing decree is available, which is expected during the summer months of 2026, an updated schedule for both processes will be published.
Contractual Arrangements and Test Environment
Irrespective of the above, it is already possible to:
- in the area of Guarantees of Origin auctions: conclude agreements on access to auctions with account holders in the Registry of Guarantees of Origin;
- in the area of the credit system: conclude agreements on access to Records of Renewable Energy Use in Transport (EVOZED) with entities that may, under the Act, become account holders in this register.
These agreements will enable future participation in auctions or the use of the credit system, respectively, and will also provide access to the test environment.
