Battery storage and MND: what's in store for us this year?
In the last Report, we informed you that the MND Group, through its subsidiary MND BESS (Battery Energy Storage System), has jumped straight into the battery business. We are currently in various stages of preparing several battery storage projects with a total capacity of around 42 MW and an installed capacity of over 100 MWh. In the Czech Republic, our target is to reach a total capacity of 50 MW, which is not far off.
MND is heading into the battery business. What will the BESS projects bring?
MND is preparing the largest investment of 2025 - a 12 MW battery storage facility in Breclav with a capacity of over 30 MWh. This project is our entry into an area that is fundamentally changing the energy industry. Battery storage provides grid stability, commercial flexibility and contributes to the transition to a more sustainable energy mix with a higher share of renewables. New legislation and falling battery prices are opening up new opportunities in the Czech Republic. MND wants to develop projects not only in our country but also in the more advanced markets in Germany. Battery flexibility will play a key role in balancing demand, managing price fluctuations and supporting the decarbonisation of the energy sector. We are starting with Breclav, with more projects to follow.
