Overview
Suchohrdly Solar Power Plant is a 2.1 MW operational solar PV facility in the Czech Republic, owned by Cellesta - N. It contributes to the country's renewable energy capacity under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Suchohrdly Solar Power Plant is a solar photovoltaic facility located near Suchohrdly in the Czech Republic. With a capacity of 2.1 MW, it is a small-scale solar installation that feeds renewable electricity into the local grid. The plant is owned by Cellesta - N and is currently operational, supporting the Czech Republic's transition to cleaner energy sources. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the European Union's Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a target of 42.5% renewable energy by 2030. The Czech Republic has implemented national support mechanisms, including feed-in tariffs and green bonuses, to encourage solar PV development. Suchohrdly Solar Power Plant benefits from these policies, which have driven growth in small-to-medium-scale solar installations across the country. Environmentally, the plant contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by displacing fossil fuel-based electricity generation. Solar PV systems have minimal operational emissions and require no water for cooling, making them a low-impact renewable energy source. The facility's location in the South Moravian Region, known for its sunny climate, optimizes energy generation while utilizing land that may have limited alternative use.
Environmental context
