Plans for hundreds of thousands of solar panels in southern Moravia

Plans have been unveiled to install hundreds of thousands of solar panels in Southern Moravia. The firm Energy 21 is looking to construct several power stations in the region, which would be fuelled by solar power alone. It is thought that the power stations’ combined output could be up to 30 megawatts, which would provide several thousand homes with power. The firm already has one such power station in the region which currently provides around 300 households with electricity. The plans are still awaiting approval, and Energy 21 is yet to provide all the details of the project. The south of Moravia has been chosen for the project as this is the part of the Czech Republic which receives the most sun annually. Meteorologists say that Southern Moravia receives on average 10% more sun than Northern Bohemia and Silesia.
