4 FAQs about Czech rural solar energy storage

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.

Is there a potential for solar installations in Europe?

There is a huge potential for solar installations, with ideal climate conditions and substantial funding coming from the EU. The situation is similar in other areas of Central and Eastern Europe, where Wattstor has already completed a number of successful renewable energy installations – such as Poland, Croatia and Slovakia.
