Will a battery storage system help Czech companies achieve net zero?
The high penetration of renewable generation projects in the region could deliver a large amount of clean energy and really accelerate the journey to net zero, but at the moment Czech companies are not in a position to reap the full benefits of solar and other renewable energy sources. To do so, battery storage will be essential.
How has the energy crisis impacted the Czech Republic?
With coal dominating the energy mix, the Czech Republic has traditionally enjoyed low electricity prices and a steady supply of domestic fuel. However, the recent energy crisis, together with pressure from stakeholders and regulatory bodies to decarbonise, has triggered an unprecedented shift in the country’s energy market.
What incentives are there for onsite generation in the Czech Republic?
At the same time, stakeholder and regulatory pressure encouraged Czech organisations to invest in renewable power. There are several EU incentives to spur the growth of onsite generation. For example, the Modernisation Fund supports investments in energy efficiency, storage, network upgrades and the re-skilling of workers.
Why are Czech businesses investing in renewable projects without subsidies?
The subsidy increases to cover up to 75% of costs for community projects. But what we noticed at Wattstor is that Czech businesses are investing in renewable projects even in the absence of subsidies, because they have realised the strong business case for generating clean energy on site.
Can solar power plants be auctioned in the Czech Republic?
However, the total capacity of power plants that can be entered into auctions is severely limited and there is no auction for solar plants. The Czech government must make a CfD scheme for larger renewable energy plants – both wind and solar – a central pillar of its strategy to accelerate the energy transition.
What are the energy storage needs in ?
