Insights

Fluence completed Ukraine's largest battery storage project, showcasing execution excellence in challenging conditions while expanding international footprint.

Fluence Energy has successfully energized a landmark 200 MW battery energy storage portfolio in Ukraine in partnership with DTEK Group. This represents Ukraine's largest battery-based energy storage project to date, spanning six sites with capacities ranging from 20 to 50 MW each. The systems collectively provide 400 MWh of electricity storage capacity—enough to power 600,000 Ukrainian homes for two hours.

What makes this achievement particularly significant is the accelerated six-month construction timeline, substantially faster than industry averages for projects of this scale. This expedited execution was driven by the critical need to have the systems operational before winter, when Ukraine's power grid faces significant strain.

The project showcases Fluence's innovative remote commissioning capabilities, developed in response to wartime constraints limiting physical access to Ukrainian sites. The company trained 20 Ukrainian engineers at existing Fluence facilities in Germany and Finland, enabling them to handle installation and commissioning without requiring Fluence personnel on-site—a novel approach that could become a valuable model for future projects in challenging regions.

Strategically, these storage systems will enhance Ukraine's grid stability through advanced grid-forming capabilities, increasing power supply security and reducing outage risks, especially during breakdowns in traditional generation. The decentralized nature of the battery installations also contributes to overall grid resilience.

For Fluence, this project demonstrates the company's ability to execute complex international projects under extraordinary circumstances while showcasing its Gridstack technology solution in a high-profile application. The successful implementation strengthens Fluence's position in the European energy storage market and proves its capability to deliver critical infrastructure in challenging environments.

  • Project construction and commissioning, split between six sites across Ukraine, was completed in under six months to ensure it is ready to operate during the upcoming winter season
  • The project uses Fluence’s Gridstack�solution and is designed to provide 400 MWh of dispatchable energy � enough to power 600,000 homes for two hours

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fluence Energy B.V., a subsidiary of Fluence Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLNC) (“Fluence�), a global market leader delivering intelligent energy storage systems, services, and asset optimization software, has energised Ukraine’s largest battery-based energy storage project with a total capacity of 200 MW together with DTEK Group, Ukraine’s largest private energy company.

The project includes six battery energy storage systems of varying capacities � from 20 to 50 MW each � connected to the Ukrainian power grid. Collectively, the systems have the capacity to store 400 MWh of electricity, enough to power 600,000 Ukrainian homes for two hours.Thestorage systems, leveraging Fluence’s innovative storage technology, are expected to enhance grid stability and resilience in Ukraine through advanced grid-forming capabilities.

The project’s construction was completed in only six months, significantly faster than the industry average for projects of such complexity. The speed of construction was primarily driven by the urgent need for the project to become operational ahead of the winter season. Due to the challenges of war and restricted access to Ukraine, this is the first project Fluence has commissioned fully remotely. In preparation for remote commissioning, 20 Ukrainian power engineers received advanced training on Fluence’s existing project sites in Germany and Finland. The intent of this training was to enable the engineers to install and commission the battery project without Fluence staff on site. This advanced training and remote commissioning model played a key role in expediting delivery.

"This is a historic step for the Ukrainian energy system and will shape its development for years to come. We have implemented it together with Fluence, a global leader in energy storage. In cooperation with our American partners, we are integrating the latest technologies to make Ukraine's energy system more reliable and sustainable," said DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko.

“We are honoured to collaborate with DTEK on this landmark energy storage project. The exceptional determination and effectiveness demonstrated by DTEK in bringing this forward is truly inspiring. This achievement is a beacon of resilience and a symbol of what can be achieved through strong international cooperation. Even in these very challenging times, innovation and partnership can light the way toward greater energy security. Together, we are contributing to a stronger, more resilient, and decentralized energy system that will support Ukraine’s long-term stability,� said Fluence CEO Julian Nebreda.

The new systems are expected to increase the security of electricity supply and reduce the risk of outages and accidents, especially in the event of a breakdown in dispatchable generation, such as gas turbines. Fluence’s energy storage systems will contribute to the development of a clean and resilient energy system through increased system decentralisation and should enable Ukraine to store power generated from a wide range of energy sources.
