5 FAQs about [Solar power generation in Prague]

Why does Prague need a photovoltaic system?

The renovation of the city's building stock is something that is directly implied by the creation of the Prague Renewable Energy Community. This is simply because the unused areas that they are located on can be adapted relatively quickly and efficiently so that photovoltaic panels can be installed on them.

How much photovoltaic capacity does the Czech Republic have?

The Czech Republic had almost two gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic capacity at the end of 2010, but installed less than 10 megawatts (MW) in 2011 due to the feed-in tariff being reduced by 25%, after installing almost 1,500 MW the year before. Installations increased to 109 MW in 2012.

Can Prague replace coal in the heating industry?

If the carbon footprint of the heating sector is to be reduced, it is crucial to find a replacement for coal by 2030. As Prague does not own the district heating infrastructure in the city, it has limited options for “greening” the future energy mix in the heating industry of its own volition. However, this does not mean that there are no options.

Who is responsible for the renovation of Prague's building stock?

Jaroslav Klusák, Head of the Energy Management Department at the Prague City Hall The renovation of the city's building stock is something that is directly implied by the creation of the Prague Renewable Energy Community.

Can Prague's electricity supply be secured without coal by 2030?

With the help of newly constructed solar, hydro, and other zero emission power plants, Prague’s electricity supply can be secured without coal by 2030.
