Renewable energy in Oslavany

Renewable energy in Oslavany / Czech Republic


We have not so large possibilities in green energy producing as Germany or Denmark. We have only few water turbines, little bit more wind plants and the most used kind of green power plants are solar. The solar power plans had massive support from government for last 4 years, but now they stop it, because the boom was so large, that it has produced more negatives than positives. The biggest problem is that most parts of Czech Republic are not really well suitable for solar power plants due to not so much sun shining as in the other countries.
Directly in Oslavany we have 15th biggest solar power plant in the Czech Republic. It's located on the filled sedimentation lake behind already deactivated coal power plant. So the area which was not usable anymore for anything else(because of some toxicity) find it's new purpose. The power from this solar power plant is around 8 MW which is more than all the people and companies in Oslavany needs. So from this point of view Oslavany are "fully" green.
