Bohuslav City Council at the end of September allowed DTEK Kyiv Regional Networks to lease a 0.5-hectare land plot for the construction of a 20 MW energy storage facility.
According to a message on the Bohuslav City Community website, the purpose of the construction is to enable automatic frequency regulation in the unified energy system of Ukraine to avoid the implementation of emergency power outages for consumers.
The installation of the storage system will help reduce the volume of fluctuations and emergency outages, as well as the likelihood of system failures.
“We ask citizens who have been gardening in this area after the harvest to vacate the land plots,” the message emphasizes.
As reported, DTEK will build energy storage facilities in Ukraine with a total capacity of 200 MW, with investments in the project amounting to EUR 140 million. The batteries will be put into operation in several regions of the country no later than September 2025.
DTEK is also involved in the construction of the first large project for energy storage systems in Poland. The goal is to create a pan-European energy system designed to unite Ukraine and the EU.
