First wind farms from Czech auctions enter operation. Their capacity is set to double thanks to the auctions

Auctions for operating support for renewable energy sources are beginning to deliver their first tangible results in Czech wind power. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 26,94 MW of wind power capacity awarded operating support in auctions had entered operation as of 30 April 2026. A further roughly 378 MW of capacity is expected to follow in the coming years, provided these projects secure permits and financing and complete construction.

The first three wind power projects that received support in auctions have already begun operation. This follows from the Ministry of Industry and Trade's response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act. They are projects by SYNERGION Jívová s.r.o., with installed capacity of 11,3 MW; LHOTA BRNO s.r.o., with 9,04 MW; and VTE Maletín s.r.o., with 6,6 MW. All three projects succeeded with a reference price of 3 500 Kč/MWh.

In total, the auction system has thus added 26,94 MW of installed wind power capacity in Czechia. This is not an entirely negligible figure in the Czech context, as total installed wind power capacity in the Czech Republic stood at approximately 377 MW at the end of 2025, according to data from the Energy Regulatory Office. At the same time, however, it is clear that the capacity added through auctions so far still represents only a small share of what will be needed to meet national targets.
