New Energy Storage Solutions in Ukraine
A new energy storage complex has commenced operations in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, capable of supplying electricity to 600,000 households for two hours.
This has been reported by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.
“Ukraine has launched a significant energy storage complex with a capacity of 200 MW, developed by DTEK in collaboration with the American company Fluence Energy B.V. The complex consists of six facilities located in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, constructed in a record time of just one year. The investment in this project amounted to 125 million euros,” the official statement mentions.
It is noted that the complex can store 400 MWh of electricity, which is sufficient to meet the needs of 600,000 households for two hours.
“These new capacities enhance the reliability and flexibility of the energy system, reduce the risks of emergency outages, and allow for better preparation for the winter season. This also opens up new opportunities for the development of renewable energy and the decentralization of the energy system,” commented Energy Minister Svitlana Hrynchuk.
Thus, energy storage systems provide Ukraine with additional capabilities for balancing the energy system and regulating frequency, which is particularly crucial given the increasing share of renewable sources and the ongoing challenges of war.
From October 7, 2025, the Market Operator will begin testing a platform to assess the economic viability of energy storage installations across various segments of the energy market. According to forecasts from NEC “Ukrenergo,” the Ukrainian energy system will require 1.5 GW of energy storage systems in the next 10 years.
