Czech energy-storage association AKU-BAT argues that renewables, batteries and flexible consumption need to expand together. Its April 2026 briefing points to a Czech hybrid project combining a 4.2 MW wind turbine, 2 MWp of photovoltaics and a 3 MW / 6.7 MWh battery.
The principle also applies at a smaller scale: use electricity close to where it is generated when possible, then move the remaining energy to the time when it will be useful.
The same principle scales down
A home or business can combine a battery with controlled water heating, fireclay storage heating and other managed loads. The controller must understand available generation, tariffs, room or process demand and the operating limits of each device.
