The wind blows at night and in winter.

On 27/07/2026 the government approved acceleration areas covering 297 km² in total, about 11 % of the area Czechia had earlier committed to the European Union. Of the 61 zones, 49 are for wind, with limits on turbine height. Municipalities remain parties to the building procedure.

Acceleration areas have shorter deadlines: 45 days for the environmental impact screening decision and 60 days for the building permit. Wind plants permitted after 01/08/2025 pay a levy of CZK 50 per MWh generated, 98 % of which goes to the host municipality.

Wind can be built outside the acceleration areas too, but the road is longer. Five new turbines went into operation in Czechia in 2025, and 24 local referendums were held on wind. That is why we start with the support of the municipality and the landowners, not with the choice of turbine.

• We screen the site: wind from the available data, distances from homes, protection zones, landscape, birds and bats, airports and radar.
• We prepare and evaluate wind measurement and calculate output with an uncertainty a bank will accept.
• We help with talks with the municipality, landowners and neighbours. Without their support a wind project in Czechia is very hard to push through.
• With partners, we handle the environmental impact assessment, the building permit and the grid connection.
• We run the tender for turbines and construction and help negotiate supply and long-term service with guaranteed availability.
• As owner's engineer we oversee foundations, the transport of oversized parts, erection and commissioning.

• Output has to be proven by measurement. For financing, output is usually backed by measurement at the site itself, with a lidar or a met mast. The campaign has to be planned early.
• Turbines are tall. In Deutsche WindGuard's 2024 survey, a third of the turbines on offer were rated 6 MW or more and 45 % had a tip height of 200 to 250 m. That drives setbacks, landscape impact and transport of components.
• Investment. Adding the same survey's main and ancillary costs gives roughly EUR 1,750/kW in Germany, including foundations, grid connection and development. Czech costs may differ; a decision needs a quote for the specific site.
• Connection and licence. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the statutory deadline for connection is up to 5 years from a complete application at medium and high voltage. A plant above 100 kW needs an ERÚ generation licence.

Ranges are indicative. At German costs for 2024, CZK 1 bn buys roughly three turbines of 7 MW or four of around 6 MW.
