About the association

AKU-BAT CZ, z.s. is an association bringing together the most important actors active in the field of energy storage.

The diversity of the association’s members determines our comprehensive view on energy storage as a whole. The members of our association are multinational energy companies, international and domestic battery manufacturers, the most important players in the renewable energy field, prestigious banks, universities, research institutions, associations, industrial companies, energy consulting companies and law firms.

We are a founding member of the Union of Modern Energy (Svaz moderní energetiky). Jan Fousek, CEO of AKU-BAT CZ, is a member of the Union’s Board.

The goal of the Association for energy storage and batteries (AKU-BAT CZ) is to promote favourable conditions for the development of all types of energy storage (batteries, Power 2 gas, Power 2 heat etc.).

As the very first association of its kind in the region of Central and Eastern Europe, AKU-BAT CZ was created in response to the current boom in the development of renewable energy sources resulting in the need to efficiently accumulate electric power. We are convinced that energy storage makes renewable sources a baseload source and if the Czech Republic wants to meet its climate commitments and not lose its pace with the rest of Europe, the state must stop hampering its development.

By pushing for the change of the relevant legislation, we strive to create basic rules for energy storage, which are still missing in our country.
