Mgr.

He has been active on energy markets since 2007. The objectives of the AKU-BAT Association will be presented at the beginning of the lecture. The second part will be focused on challenges imposed by energy storage development in the Czech Republic, especially on amendments to the Energy Act, whose result should be at first the arrangement of storage facilities. Another challenge is the issue of the arising of licences for energy storage and setting up of conditions for determination of regulatory fees of the Energy Regulatory Office. The third challenge will be the change in the Transmission Grid Code, towards the release of conditions for provision of support services. The topic of the third part will be energy storage in an outlook of 10-20 years, which places emphasis on the combining of individual types of energy storage. The implemented projects will be presented at the end.
