• DTEK secures EUR 67 mln to build major energy storage complex in Eastern Europe.
 
DTEK has reached an agreement with a consortium of Ukrainian banks led by Oschadbank in the largest financing yet of an energy storage project in Ukraine. Oschadbank, along with PUMB and Ukrgasbank (UGB), are providing around UAH 3 bln (EUR 67 mln) to fund the construction of one of the largest energy storage facilities in Eastern Europe. The deal is DTEK largest domestic loan agreement to finance new energy infrastructure.

The agreement covers five electricity storage units with 180 MW combined capacity, providing short-term power supply to 600,000 households. Construction will be completed by autumn 2025.
 

Building on DTEK's partnership with Fluence Energy announced earlier this year, this financing enables the company to deliver 200 MW of advanced battery storage technology across six sites nationwide.

 "DTEK's investments in new energy capacity are not only a response to current challenges but also a contribution to the long-term strategy of ensuring Ukraine's energy resilience and independence. Our goal is not just to restore but to create modern and reliable energy that will become the foundation for the country's economic development." – said Maxim Timchenko.
