Despite the many challenges of building energy projects in a war zone, Ukraine’s largest battery energy storage project has entered its final delivery phase – ahead of schedule.

DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, and U.S.-based energy storage provider Fluence announced the accomplishment at last week’s Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome.

Under a contract with Ukrenergo, the country’s grid operator, a total of 200 MW of connected power has been deployed at six undisclosed locations. The systems are capable of storing 400 MWh of electricity – enough to power 600,000 homes for two hours, according to a statement from DTEK.

In addition to frequency and power reserve, the systems will provide balancing services, making the grid more resilient.

“The project with DTEK to build a strong and decentralized energy system for enhanced energy security in Ukraine is perfectly aligned with our mission to transform the way we power our world. It is also one of the most impactful projects in our company’s history,” said Julian Nebreda, CEO of Fluence.
