Flexibility Conference 2025 – register now
The conference organized by the Association of Aggregators and Flexibility Providers, which is part of the AKU-BAT Association, is a key event for anyone interested in the future of energy in the Czech Republic. The aim of the conference is to support the development of electricity aggregation and the use of flexibility in the Czech environment, which is essential for a stable and efficient energy system.
Come and be inspired, make new contacts, and be part of the discussion.
We look forward to seeing you on October 7, 2025, in Prague at the Stages Hotel.
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.
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
AKUCAST: Permitting Processes for PV and Energy Storage in the Czech Republic
In today’s episode of AKUCAST, we take a closer look at the permitting processes for photovoltaic power plants and battery storage projects in the Czech Republic. These procedures are among the most complex in Europe and remain a major barrier to the rapid development of modern energy solutions. Recent legislative changes – most notably LEX OZE III and the new grid connection decree – aim to change this by granting projects the status of public interest, streamlining approval steps, and creating space for more effective cooperation between investors and municipalities. But what does this mean in practice, and how will it shape the future of renewables in the country?
These questions are discussed by moderator Jan Fousek (AKU-BAT Association) with Jiří Bím (AKU-BAT Association & Solar Association) and Ondřej Štěpánek (GreenBuddies).
