In an announcement released on March 7, 2025, the executive arm of the European Union said that the Czech scheme will support the installation of at least 1.5 GWh of new electricity storage facilities. The measure will be open to all storage technologies directly connected to the transmission network or distribution network.
Construction of a facility that will include the largest battery storage facility in the Czech Republic and gas combustion turbines began at the end of March near Vraňany in the Mělník region. The investor is the Czech energy group Decci.
The aid will take form of direct grants which will cover up to 50% of the investment cost of supported projects. From ESS News The European Commission (EC) has authorized a €279 million ($303 million) Czech state aid scheme to support investment into electricity storage facilities and foster the transition towards a net-zero economy.
Decci Group, an independent power producer (IPP), announced the completion of the hybrid ‘Energy Nest’ project earlier this month (10 July). It was developed via its subsidiary E.nest Energy. The project in Vraňany, Mělník, combines 30MW of BESS with another 22.4MW of gas generators to provide grid balancing services to the transmission system.
Siemens is the contractor for the hybrid power plant in Vranje, while the turbines are supplied by the British company Centrax. Czech experts such as the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics or the Czech Technical University, which is developing machine learning-based control algorithms for the project, have also been involved.
The measure will be open to all storage technologies directly connected to the transmission network or distribution network. It will support only newly installed storage facilities. The aid shall take the form of direct grants.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
