DTEK Group, in partnership with American company Fluence, has officially connected Ukraine’s largest battery-based energy storage system to the grid.Will a new battery storage facility strengthen Ukraine's grid?Sept. 10, 2025. (Bohdan Nazarenko/DTEK) Ukraine’s biggest private energy firm, DTEK, has launched a major battery storage facility that will bring power to hundreds of thousands of homes and strengthen the grid ahead of expected Russian attacks this winter, the company said.
Why is Ukraine investing €140 million in energy storage?The €140 million total investment aims to enhance power grid stability, bolstering Ukraine’s energy security and independence. The project will be the biggest operational energy storage portfolio in Eastern Europe at the time of commissioning.
How much electricity will Kyiv's power plant store?Together, they will store up to 400 MWh of electricity – enough to supply two hours of power to 600,000 homes (equivalent to roughly half the households in Kyiv).
Where are Russia's batteries located?The batteries are spread out across six undisclosed locations in Ukraine, which helps de-risk the projects from Russian attacks compared to a centralized system, Julian Jansen, managing director covering southern and eastern Europe at Fluence, said during the briefi
