BESS Construction in Practice (Technology, Integration, and Real-World Experience from Czech Projects)

3.12.2025 | Online

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.
