Bulk energy storage is currently dominated by hydroelectric dams, both conventional as well as pumped. There are six localities considered for new pumped-storage hydroelectric power plants in the Czech Republic but public acceptance presents a challenge. Front-of-meter installations in the Czech Republic are mired in regulations.
Pumped hydro storage projects are not eligible for any state subsidies. The Czech government subsidises the installation of photovoltaic panels located on domestic properties producing energy for their own consumption and the purchase of co-located energy storage solutions.
As indicated above, there is no specific legal framework for electricity storage, except for the existing pumped hydro storage projects. The study undertaken pursuant to NAPSG will be prepared by the end of 2016. However, no significant development of energy storage projects (save for domestic projects) is expected until the end of 2020.
