DTEK Group in cooperation with Fluence, a world leader in the field of intelligent energy storage systems, launches the largest battery storage facility in Ukraine with a capacity of 200 MW.
“In the conditions of large-scale attacks on the energy system of Ukraine, the role of energy storage systems has become as fundamental as the energy generation itself. The National Renewable Energy Action Plan adopted by the government until 2030 clearly outlines the need for such installations, and today we are seeing how the strategic goals are being implemented.
I am grateful to DTEK Group for its proactive approach to this issue, as well as to our American partners at Fluence for their advanced technologies, thanks to which each new megawatt of storage acts as a shield for the entire energy system. This means greater safety for Ukrainians and lower risks of emergency power outages,” said Minister of Energy Svitlana Grinchuk.
Six new energy storage systems, the capacity of which ranges from 20 to 50 MW, were connected to the power grid in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions. Collectively, they are able to accumulate 400 MW/h of electricity — this is enough to provide light to 600,000 Ukrainian households for two hours. Such systems should strengthen the security of energy supply and reduce the risk of accidents and interruptions, especially in the case of failures in shunting generation.
Construction lasted from March to August 2025, that is, only six months, which is much faster than the average implementation period of similar projects in the world. The accelerated pace was due to the urgent need to put the facility into operation before the start of the winter season.
DTEK’s investment in the project amounted to 125 million euros. The implementation of storage systems will increase the stability and stability of the Ukrainian energy system, as well as contribute to the development of renewable energy and decentralization of the country’s energy sector.
