Your local partner for energy investments in the Czech Republic

Invest in Czech energy projects — without the local blind spots.

I help foreign investors, energy funds and developers find viable sites, understand the Czech market, build the business case and take PV, BESS, CHP and DC charging projects through grid connection, engineering and construction to commercial operation.

Who I work with

Built for investors entering the Czech market

Foreign investors

Market entry, local representation and a trusted technical voice on the ground.

Energy investment funds

Technical & regulatory due diligence, pipeline screening and asset acquisition support.

Project developers

Site sourcing with grid capacity, permitting strategy and full project preparation.

IPPs & industrials

Owner's engineering, delivery management and technology risk control.

Why you need a local expert

The Czech market has its own rules.

Grid capacity is scarce, connection procedures are specific to each DSO, and the legislation changes fast. What works in Germany or Spain doesn't automatically work here.

01

Site sourcing

Identifying land with realistic grid capacity, zoning and landowner readiness — before you spend money.

02

Economic analysis

CAPEX/OPEX, revenue stacking (spot, ancillary services, PPA), grid fees and sensitivity scenarios.

03

Project preparation & engineering

Connection (UPOS, UTP), permits, EIA, design coordination and EPC tendering.

04

Technology pitfalls

Protection settings per PPDS Annex 4, BESS control, transformer lead times, MV routing, CHP grid behaviour.

Technologies

One consultant across the whole energy stack

Photovoltaics (FVE / PV)

Photovoltaics (FVE / PV)

Ground-mounted and rooftop plants, from feasibility and connection capacity to commissioning.

Battery storage (BESS)

Battery storage (BESS)

Standalone and co-located storage, ancillary services readiness, grid code compliance.

Cogeneration (CHP)

Cogeneration (CHP)

Gas engines and heat integration, parallel operation with the distribution grid.

DC charging hubs

DC charging hubs

High-power charging infrastructure for e-mobility incl. MV connection and own substations.

Substations & MV lines

Substations & MV lines

Transformer stations, MV cable routes, switchgear and protection coordination.

Grid & regulatory expertise

I speak the language of the DSO.

Most project delays don't happen on site — they happen in grid connection queues and permitting. I know the current rules and the people behind them.

MV cable pulling
01

Energy legislation

Energy Act, Lex RES, ERÚ decrees on connection and community energy — always the current wording.

02

UPOS & connection studies

Applications for connection (žádost o připojení), connection studies and capacity reservation strategy.

03

UTP & connection contracts

Technical conditions of connection, contract negotiation and fulfilment of DSO requirements.

04

PPDS Annex 4

Rules for parallel operation of generating units — protection settings, control, tests and trial operation.

How I work

Process, manage, deliver.

  1. 1

    Feasibility

    Site, grid capacity, legislation and economics check.

  2. 2

    Grid connection

    Application, study, UTP and connection contract.

  3. 3

    Permitting & design

    Coordination of designers, authorities and landowners.

  4. 4

    Construction

    Contractor management, site supervision, schedule and budget.

  5. 5

    Commissioning

    PPDS Annex 4 tests, trial operation, licence and handover.
