DTEK has launched Ukraine's largest battery storage project, investing 125 million euros (USD 146.13 million) to secure electricity supply amid ongoing Russian attacks. Six systems in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk, built with U.S.-based Fluence, can store 400 megawatt hours of electricity, enough for 600,000 households for two hours. The storage systems will help prevent outages and improve grid stability, emphasizing the growing importance of storage alongside power generation. The project also strengthens DTEK's efforts to modernize Ukraine's energy infrastructure, ensuring reliable electricity for both households and industries in a conflict-affected environment.
Ukrainian private energy company DTEK has launched the country's largest battery storage facility to strengthen the stability of electricity supply amid ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy system. Russia's full-scale war, which began in 2022, continues to target Ukraine's power infrastructure, leaving industries and millions of residents at risk of power outages. Advertisement
DTEK said its total investment in the project was 125 million euros (USD 146.13 million). Six battery storage systems have been connected to the power grid in Kyiv and the Dnipropetrovsk region in eastern Ukraine. These systems were developed in partnership with U.S.-based Fluence, a global leader in intelligent energy storage solutions. Together, the facilities can store 400 megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power around 600,000 households for two hours.
The company highlighted that the new storage systems would increase electricity supply security and reduce the risk of outages or accidents, particularly if some power generation units fail. Energy minister Svitlana Grinchuk said that energy storage systems are becoming just as important as energy generation itself, especially during large-scale attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
This project also adds to DTEK's ongoing efforts to modernize the country's energy network. By enhancing grid resilience, the initiative aims to protect both residents and industries from sudden power disruptions while reinforcing the overall reliability of Ukraine's electricity supply.
