Our new AKUCAST episode is out!
BESS as a Stable Infrastructure Element
Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a key element of modern energy infrastructure. As the share of renewable energy continues to grow, power systems increasingly rely on technologies that provide flexibility, fast response, and grid stability. BESS plays an essential role by storing excess electricity and releasing it when needed, helping to balance supply and demand and ensure reliable operation.
In this episode of AKUCAST, we explore how battery storage systems are designed and operated in practice, covering topics such as system sizing, efficiency, degradation, safety, and integration into the grid. The discussion features Jan Fousek as the moderator, alongside Vítězslav Rosík and Tomáš Kubina.
Guide to Battery Deployment in the Czech Republic (2025)
We have updated our guide for battery deployment in the Czech Republic, providing you with the latest information on the conditions for the implementation and operation of battery energy storage systems in the country.
This guide is available exclusively to our members. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us at info@akubat-asociace.cz.
Guide to Permitting Battery Energy Storage Systems
We are pleased to introduce a new Guide to Permitting Battery Energy Storage Systems, prepared by our expert in permitting processes, Jiří Bím.
Our members have had access to this guide since the beginning of November. If you are interested, please contact Vendula Korbelová at info@akubat-asociace.cz.
Guide to Safe Installation, Service, and Recycling of Battery Systems
Czech Energy Storage Association AKU-BAT CZ, in cooperation with the Solar Association, has published a guide summarizing the principles of safe installation, operation, and recycling of battery systems.
The brochure provides a basic safety framework for installation companies, households, and other stakeholders, helping to minimize risks and support the sustainable development of energy storage.
To request the guide, please contact Vendula Korbelová at info@akubat-asociace.cz.
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.
We are a founding member of the Modern Energy Association (Svaz moderní energetiky), and we also work closely with the Solar Association and other industry associations.

AKUCAST – Our podcast
Wind Energy in the Czech Republic and the Role of Battery Storage
In this episode of AKUCAST, we focus on key questions related to the development of wind energy in the Czech Republic. What is its current state? Why do projects often struggle to be implemented? And what role do battery storage systems play in this context? The main topic is the integration of wind power, energy storage, and flexibility—areas that will be crucial for the future direction of the Czech energy sector.
The episode is once again hosted by Jan Fousek (AKU-BAT), who welcomes guests Martin Sedlák (Association for Modern Energy) and Ivo Apfel (TESLA Energy Storage). The discussion also includes practical examples, such as the first combination of a wind power plant and battery storage in the Czech Republic, as well as experiences with grid connection.

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.
