Does Czechia have a solar boom?
Finally, Czechia is also experiencing a second solar boom, with the total added PV capacity in 2023 surpassing 1 GW, marking Czechia's return to the GW-market stage after 13 years. The country, having experienced a solar boom in the past, was one of the first significant PV markets in Europe.
How many PV plants will Czechia build in 2023?
The nation’s PV association says it expects a shift toward larger power plants in the coming year, but notes the need for more energy storage capacity. Czechia built around 1 GW of new PV plants in 2023, according to data from the Czech Solar Association (Solární Asociace).
Will Czech solar projects be financed through a PPA?
“There are more large scale projects under development in Czechia, that are hoping to be financed through the modernisation fund that was announced this year,” Jan Krčmář, chairman of the Czech Solar Association, told pv magazine. “These projects will need to secure a PPA, as there are no auctions or other incentives for new solar power plants.”
Is a solar park a new start for Czech PV?
Although relatively small in size, the completion of the solar park represents a new beginning for Czech PV, as utility scale PV projects have been banned for years from the country's energy landscape and solar was also excluded by the planned auctions for large scale renewables.
