Green Power Investment,
A Strong Partner
the Region Can Rely on
Since 2010 Green Power Investment s.r.o. (GPI) has been operating in the market of renewable
energy sources, with a specific focus on solar energetics and hydrogen. The company’s services
include development, project work, and the construction and operation of photovoltaic power
plants in European and other foreign countries. Since our conception, we have completed projects
with a total power output of 120 MW. Currently, we are working on several photovoltaic parks
with a total output of about 500 MW.
Our ultimate goal is to not only plan and construct
photovoltaic parks, but also to own and operate
them. Solar energetics, however, is not our only path
forward. We want to devise tailor made solutions
for different locations, instead of simply creating
energy and selling it to the grid. Therefore, we are
also looking for other opportunities in the field of
renewable sources, which include projects such as
connecting photovoltaics to battery systems and
using stored energy in the production and distribution
Hydrogen is a key topic for us, which is why
we became members of the Moravian-Silesian
Hydrogen Cluster.

of hydrogen. This means that we are able to offer
photovoltaics with added value, either storing extra
energy in batteries, or using it to produce hydrogen.
Currently, hydrogen is a very attractive topic for
investors, and we believe that it is only a matter of
time until projects will include batteries or a hydrogen
system as the standard.
Right now we are working on three projects that
are closely linked to hydrogen. Two of them involve
“green” hydrogen, which is the term for hydrogen
production through a photovoltaic plant. The first of
these projects is a large photovoltaics power plant in
Ostrava. The plant will have an output of 30 MWP,
a battery with a 30 MWh capacity and an electrolyzer
with a capacity of 15 MW and gradual hydrogen
production according to consumption. The second
and smaller project is a photovoltaic plant that will
have an output of 10 MWP and will be constructed
next year near Studénka. This plant will have a battery
with a 2 MWh capacity and a 2 MW electrolyzer.

The third project is different from the first two,
as it involves the decarbonization of a closed
production process within a private company.
Here we are constructing a photovoltaic power
plant inside one of our client’s buildings. The client
works with wood, and would like to decarbonize
their production process, mainly through the use of
renewable transportation fuels with their material
transportation runs between facilities. To fulfill
this goal, the client is planning to make use of a
hydrogen vehicle. At the same time, the solution
will also produce some extra electricity. As this
customer of ours works with wood, which needs
to be dried, we will also be creating solutions that
make use of heat or compressed oxygen.
Hydrogen is a key topic for us, which is why
we became members of the Moravian-Silesian
Hydrogen Cluster. This allows us to be part of
activities, which the Moravian-Silesian region is
developing in work groups. We are part of the work
group dedicated to transportation, as our primary
focus is aimed towards that field. We are planning
to create our own production facility for hydrogen
that will either distribute the product right from
where it is produced and compressed, or deliver it
to fuel stations around the region.
Besides hydrogen, we are also working with the
Moravian-Silesian region on the issue of green
energy and being able to cover the region’s
consumption. The Moravian-SIlesian region has
been a great help for us in the acquisition of land
for the construction of photovoltaic power plants,
as much of the free land in Ostrava is not open
for construction due to regulations. Luckily, these
projects are ones of public interest and Ostrava is
very enthusiastic about decarbonizing their energy
