DTEK and Fluence Launch Ukraine's Largest Battery Energy Storage System

Ukraine's energy infrastructure gained significant resilience with the recent activation of its largest battery energy storage project. DTEK Group and Fluence Energy completed the installation of six storage systems, providing 200 MW of power and 400 MWh of electricity capacity. This substantial energy reserve can supply power to 600,000 Ukrainian homes for two hours. The project reached completion in less than six months, a notable achievement given wartime conditions. Fluence successfully commissioned the entire system remotely, a first for the company. This was enabled by extensive training provided to 20 Ukrainian power engineers in Germany and Finland, allowing them to manage the installation without requiring on-site personnel. The Gridstack™ solution from Fluence enhances grid stability and reliability across Ukraine. DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko described the project as a "historic step" for the nation's energy sector. The initiative addresses immediate energy needs while supporting the development of a more dependable and sustainable energy future for Ukraine.
