FAQS about Construction of new energy storage projects in the Czech Republic

What is the largest storage system in the Czech Republic?

In Ostrava, you are building the largest storage system – the largest battery, in the Czech Republic. What will it be used for, and what can it mean for companies? We are currently finalising the construction of the largest battery in the Czech Republic in Ostrava.

How will a storage system help the Czech energy sector?

The storage system will support the transformation of the Czech power sector and contribute to the stabilisation of the power grid by providing power balance services. “Europe's energy sector is changing dynamically, but a secure energy supply and network stability remain the cornerstones.

Will a house-sized battery help stabilize the Czech energy grid?

The House-sized Battery Will Help Stabilise the Czech Energy Grid *The battery storage capacity is 10 MW and it exceeds the current largest battery in the Czech Republic by more than 40%. *The system can hold 9.45 MWh of energy, three times the size of the ČEZ battery in Tušimice.

Where is the largest battery storage facility in the Czech Republic?

Construction of a facility that will include the largest battery storage facility in the Czech Republic and gas combustion turbines began at the end of March near Vraňany in the Mělník region. The investor is the Czech energy group Decci.

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.

Where is the largest battery in the Czech Republic?

We are currently finalising the construction of the largest battery in the Czech Republic in Ostrava. Europe’s energy sector is changing dynamically, but secure energy supply and grid stability remain fundamental.
