India''s drive for renewables has accelerated the need for storage, but there are many factors to success, writes Charith Konda of IEEFA.
Despite the ongoing discussions, there is no significant development in the area of energy storage. In 2015, the Czech Government adopted the National Action Plan for Smart Grids (“NAPSG”) prepared by the Ministry of Industry and Trade under principles set out in the update of the State Energy Concept, which was also introduced in 2015.
There are no other larger-scale electricity storage projects currently being developed in the Czech Republic. However, the Czech government provides subsidies to household projects consisting of photovoltaic panels with electricity storage systems.
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.
However, the Czech government provides subsidies to household projects consisting of photovoltaic panels with electricity storage systems. Batteries and thermal energy storage are the two most commonly used methods of electricity storage for households in the CzechRepublic. 2.
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.
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.
