One of the Czech Republic’s largest battery storage facilities to be built in Tušimice

The Transport and Energy Construction Authority (DESU) has approved the construction of two battery storage facilities in Tušimice. The projects belong to FVE Sever alfa s.r.o. and FVE Sever beta s.r.o., which are part of the Czech Energy Parks a.s. group. Together, the two projects are to offer more than 200 MW of capacity and 400 MWh of storage capacity, many times exceeding the parameters of existing battery storage facilities in the Czech Republic.

According to information published in the project permit decision, the battery storage facilities, which are to be connected to the transmission system, are intended, among other things, for “storing surplus electricity production generated elsewhere, balancing services and supplying existing generating facilities in the area”. Each of the FVE Sever alfa-BESS and FVE Sever beta-BESS projects is to have installed capacity of around 100 MW and storage capacity of 200 MWh. This would place them among the largest battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the Czech Republic.
