Czech charging station solar energy storage

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.

Why do we need a charging station in the Czech Republic?

“We believe that this type of charging station will contribute to developing the charging infrastructure in the Czech Republic thanks to its ability to compensate for the lack of electricity quickly and without taking up much space.

Who makes the first EV charging station in the Czech Republic?

It is the first of its kind in the Czech Republic. The charging station was supplied by Kreisel Electric from Austria. The charging station with the model name Chimero 180 from Kreisel Electric can charge EVs with up to 180 kW and is intended for locations with insufficient grid capacity.

Is the Czech Republic ready for pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants?

Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped. There are six localities considered for new pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants in the Czech Republic but public acceptance presents a challenge. Front-of-meter installations in the Czech Republic are mired in regulations.

Why is Czech energy-accumulation so expensive?

According the report, the main reason is the regulatory framework biased in favor of classical energy models. The Czech Republic is no exception. It is fair to say that none of available energy-accumulation technology is perfect yet, and cost-effectiveness can be reached under specific conditions only.

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.
