DTEK, under Rinat Akhmetov, launched Ukraine's largest energy storage system, boasting a capacity of 200 MW and a total energy storage of 400 MWh. This system, located in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions, can supply electricity to 600,000 apartments for two hours.

Developed with American company Fluence Energy, the project cost €125 million and was completed in six months, significantly faster than the typical two-year timeframe. Energy Minister Svitlana Hrinchuk highlighted the critical role of energy storage in ensuring stability amidst ongoing Russian attacks. Akhmetov noted that the project is part of a broader strategy for energy independence.
