A New Episode of our AKUCAST Is Here!
In the new episode of AKUCAST, we focused on the permitting processes for photovoltaic power plants and battery storage in the Czech Republic – among the most complex in Europe. How are new laws, such as LEX RES III and the connection decree, changing the rules of the game? What does this mean for investors and municipalities, and what opportunities does it bring?
The discussion is led by moderator Jan Fousek (AKU-BAT CZ) with Jiří Bím (AKU-BAT CZ and Solar Association) and Ondřej Štěpánek (Greenbuddies).
Manual for the implementation and operation of BSAE in the Czech Republic in 2024
We have just completed a manual, which aims to provide information on the conditions for the implementation and operation of battery storage facilities in the Czech Republic, as of the legal status valid in the first quarter of 2024. This guide is only available to our members.
List of Battery Producers and Suppliers
In cooperation with the Solar Association, we have updated the list of recommended battery manufacturers and suppliers in the Czech Republic, from among our members.
Become a Member of the Association AKU-BAT
Membership in the AKU-BAT Energy Storage Association brings members many advantages in the areas of legislation, business, information and also contacts.
We associate subjects from the area
of energy across the Czech Republic
We are an association bringing together the most important entities active in the field of energy storage. We support the cooperation of our members in the entire spectrum of services, from the use of storage in industry, energy or as an element of flexibility, through the development of e-mobility to the development of hydrogen technologies and more.
The diversity of the ever-growing member base of the association gives us unique know-how across the field of accumulation.
The members of the association are large energy companies, international and domestic manufacturers and suppliers of batteries, the most important players in the field of renewable energy sources, renowned banking houses, universities, research institutions, associations, industrial enterprises, heating plants, investors in hydrogen technologies, telecommunications companies and law firms.
We actively participate in creating of new laws and setting the conditions of new subsidy titles. We have the most up-to-date information about ongoing and upcoming legislative changes, not only in the Czech Republic but also in the EU, which we share with our membership.

AKUCAST – Our podcast
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.

Czech Tech Talks #28: Jan Fousek – AKU-BAT, Battery Storage, the Green Deal, and the Future of Energy
In this episode, we speak with Jan Fousek, CEO of the AKU-BAT Association, Chairman of the Solar Association, and Board Member of the Czech Renewable Energy Association. We discuss his journey from DJ and radio host to investment firm owner and, eventually, one of the key movers in Czech energy and lobbying.
How did he cope with the unexpected collapse of a 7-billion-crown company, and what lessons did he take from it? Why does he believe today that energy storage is essential for the future of the Czech Republic? And how does he tackle the myths surrounding batteries, solar power, and the Green Deal?
We also delve into the controversies around the Green Deal, why the Czech Republic is among the most skeptical EU countries, and Jan’s views on current energy policy. Another topic we explore is the role of artificial intelligence in energy—how it is transforming trading, production and consumption forecasting, and where its limits lie. We ask why he never pursued a career in politics despite the influence it could bring, and why subsidies for photovoltaics are still out of reach for many.

Premium AKUCAST – Aggregation and Flexibility Conference 2025: Photovoltaics, Batteries, and Flexibility in Practice
In the latest episode of our podcast recorded at the Flexibility Conference 2025, moderator Petr Řeháček (SAF, AKU-BAT Association) speaks with Jan Srna (Enery), one of the leading companies in the field of photovoltaics and battery storage. The discussion covers where Enery operates and its most important projects, how large-scale solar power plants combined with battery storage systems work, the role of PPA contracts in the development of renewable energy, why aggregation and flexibility are becoming an essential part of modern energy systems, and how this area is likely to evolve in the Czech Republic over the next five to ten years.
