DTEK plans to establish a series of energy storage systems (ESS) across Ukraine, with a total capacity of 200 MW, aimed at enhancing the nation’s green and secure energy infrastructure. The project will involve a €140 million investment and is expected to be operational by September 2025. These ESS will provide ancillary services to Ukrenergo, the national Transmission System Operator.
