Litultovice is taking its energy future into its own hands and living off the sun. The reward is an award for modern sommunity energy in practice
Litultovice in the Opava region produces its own emission-free energy in a solar power plant located on a kindergarten building and consumes it in nine other buildings. Modern metering technology from ČEZ provides the municipality and local people with a detailed overview of consumption and overflows to the power grid. The project, which recently took 2nd place in the "Innovative Municipality 2030" competition, was created thanks to the cooperation of the Litultovice municipality, the ČEZ Innovation Unit and the Opava Region Local Action Group.

Last year ČEZ Prodej installed 1,514 rooftop photovoltaics, almost two and a half times as many as in 2020
The total capacity of these 1,514 rooftop photovoltaic power plants reached 7.4 MW. Customers are particularly interested in solar power plants supplemented by battery systems. Last year, ČEZ Prodej installed 939 batteries at its customers, i.e., twice as many. Interest in heat pumps has also increased, with ČEZ technicians installing 1,118 of them in Czech households last year, compared to 514 in 2020. In addition to market growth and rising energy prices, the increase in the number of installations has also been helped by the fact that ČEZ Prodej has significantly streamlined the entire process from offer to installation and the customer is now kept regularly informed every step of the way.
