DTEK's launch of Ukraine's largest battery storage facility has attracted coverage from leading international publications. The 200 MW facility, developed in partnership with US-based Fluence, has been reported by Forbes, Reuters, Bloomberg, and L'Express, each highlighting different aspects of this infrastructure development.
Forbes provided analysis through an interview between journalist Ken Silverstein and DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko, positioning the project within Ukraine's wartime energy strategy.
"We build new projects, we protect them as much as we can, we improve the resilience of our energy system, and we protect our people. This is what we call the energy frontline," Timchenko stated. The publication emphasised the benefits of decentralised energy assets, with the CEO explaining:"Energy security for our country is our top priority. If we build renewable energy units, then we only need the sun or wind. It's all dispersed, making it much harder to target."
Reuters covered the technical specifications and investment details, reporting the €125 million investment and the facility's capacity to power 600,000 Ukrainian households. The wire service detailed the strategic deployment across six locations in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
Bloomberg focused on the project's scale as the largest battery storage system in Ukraine, with 200 MW/400 MWh capacity. The publication highlighted the six-month construction timeline and noted this represented Fluence's first fully remote commissioning. CEO Timchenko described the project's impact:
"This is a historic step for the Ukrainian energy system and will shape its development for years to come."
L'Express offered a European perspective through an interview that examined Ukraine's position in regional energy markets. The French publication explored DTEK's renewable energy portfolio and the strategic importance of Ukraine's energy infrastructure development within the European context, presenting the battery storage facility as part of a comprehensive approach to energy security.
DTEK Group is the largest private investor in Ukraine’s energy sector, with 55,000 employees and over €12 billion of capital invested since 2005.
Our businesses generate electricity at wind, solar and thermal power plants; distribute and supply power to end consumers; extract natural gas and coal; trade energy resources on Ukrainian and foreign markets; and provide domestic and commercial energy services.
Over the last 20 years, DTEK has grown into a national energy leader and is today transforming into a pan-European clean energy business.
