(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. The storage 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 ...
