Czech Republic''s 1500MWh Energy Storage Project: A Game
This initiative is a clear signal of the growing importance of energy storage in balancing grids and integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
The development of wind power is being prevented primarily for economic and political reasons even though the potential for producing cheap, clean power from wind in the Czech Republic is enormous. We can look to Austria and Poland for examples.
There were 500 solar parks with a capacity of over 1 MWp. During 2022, the number of installations rose to almost 85,000 PV plants with a total capacity of 2,460 MWp. The development of wind energy in the Czech Republic also continues apace.
The Czech energy sector is largely built around two large nuclear plants and several smaller conventional coal power plants. Nuclear and coal power plants provide primarily baseload power at a high level of utilization, while gas fired units, reservoir hydro and pumped storage provide flexible generation.
For comparison, the output of all 200 wind power plants in the Czech Republic is just 352 megawatts. According to a study by David Hanslian of the Institute for Atmospheric Physics at the Academy of Sciences, we could build as many as 1,400 wind turbines with an installed output of 7,000 megawatts in the Czech Republic by the year 2040.
