New Energy Storage Installed in Moravské Budějovice

February 2026, Moravské Budějovice

In 2025, we made substantial progress in modernizing energy infrastructure in our plant in Moravské Budějovice (Czech Republic). A key milestone was the preparation and installation of the company’s first battery energy storage system (BESS).

By combining on-site photovoltaic generation with battery storage, the plant will be able to use a larger share of its renewable electricity directly on site. This reduces purchased grid electricity, lowers exposure to price volatility, and decreases CO₂ emissions. The battery system also contributes to greater operational stability by supporting internal grid performance and enabling the smarter use of renewable energy.

By the end of 2025, the project had progressed from planning and technical design to physical installation. With commission scheduled for early 2026, the initiative demonstrates how targeted investments in modern energy systems deliver immediate operational benefits while simultaneously supporting long-term sustainability goals.

In addition, the installation serves as a pilot project within Model Obaly, supporting the development of a scalable concept for future applications at other sites. Preparatory work at the Opava plant has already begun, highlighting the potential for broader deployment informed by the lessons learned in Moravské Budějovice.
