SOLAR FLEX Prague 2026 Conference
In the latest episode of AKUCAST, we focus on what the implementation of industrial battery energy storage systems looks like in practice. This episode provides valuable hands-on insights, perspectives from both an investor and a system integrator, detailed technological information, and an open discussion on how the flexibility market is evolving and what drives the success of BESS projects today.
The conference program will feature four thematic panels focused on real-world projects combining PV and BESS, flexibility in energy networks, new business models, and the future of European energy. The event will also include dedicated time for networking and the exchange of experience among professionals from across Europe.
Our Second SAF Conference is Behind Us!
The second edition of the successful Aggregation and Flexibility conference, organized by the Association of Aggregators and Flexibility Providers (SAF), which is part of the AKU-BAT Association, once again became a key event for everyone interested in the future of energy in the Czech Republic.
The conference offered deep insight into decentralized energy, the role of flexibility, and the practical aspects of becoming a flexibility provider. Approximately 250 experts from the Czech Republic and abroad discussed how to further develop flexibility and aggregation as essential elements of modern energy systems.
We would like to thank all partners, speakers, and participants, and we look forward to seeing you again in October!

AKUCAST – Our podcast
Implementation of a Battery Energy Storage System and Its Operation within a Local Distribution System
In the latest episode of AKUCAST, we explore the BESS Tabačka Hodonín project (4 MWh / 2 MW) and its practical operation within a local distribution system (LDS).
Together with our guests, we cover the full project life cycle – from design and installation to grid connection, operation, monitoring, and long-term maintenance. The discussion focuses on EMS control, battery balancing, predictive maintenance, and real-world operational experience. Guests include Eduard Michna (PV Service Plus), project integrator, and Martin Hodek (Huawei), technology supplier. The episode is moderated by Jan Fousek, Executive Director of AKU-BAT.
The episode highlights the technical setup of the BESS, its benefits for grid stability, power quality, and cost optimization, and concludes with insights into future BESS trends.
You can listen to the full AKUCAST on our YouTube channel or Spotify.

BESS Construction in Practice (Technology, Integration, and Real-World Experience from Czech Projects)
In the latest episode of AKUCAST, we focus on what the implementation of industrial battery storage systems looks like in practice. Guests Roman Kroutil (MND) and Jakub Hořický (IBG Czechia) share their experience with technical project design, selection of suitable technologies, permitting processes, and the subsequent integration of the entire system. The episode is moderated by Jan Fousek (AKU-BAT CZ), who also brings a strategic perspective to the discussion, addressing the evolving flexibility market, bank requirements, and the role of system integrators.
Among other things, the conversation highlights that “ancillary services are a limited source of revenue — the future lies in commercial flexibility combined with trading.” The episode offers valuable hands-on insights, the viewpoints of both an investor and a system integrator, technological details, and an open discussion about how the flexibility market is developing and what determines the success of BESS projects today.

Premium AKUCAST: From Ancillary Services to Commercial Flexibility
The energy storage market is changing faster than ever. In this episode, Stanislav Cingroš (Delta Capacity/Delta Energo) and Petr Řeháček (SAF, AKU-BAT) focus on how battery storage is making its way not only into ancillary services but increasingly into the field of commercial flexibility.
You will learn, for example: what experiences Delta Capacity brings from European markets (Germany, Sweden, Finland, Benelux); why investors today are planning for larger battery system capacities than in the past; what role smaller battery systems can play in community energy; and how cybersecurity is shaping the future development of the entire sector.
This podcast was created as part of the preparations for the Aggregation & Flexibility Conference 2025, which will take place on October 7, 2025, in Prague at the Stages Hotel. At the conference, you will hear in greater detail about all the latest trends in energy storage and flexibility.
