DTEK pilots energy storage space in Ukraine

• First lithium-ion system has been launched at the Zaporizhzhya power plant in the city of Energodar

DTEK has actually formally launched the very first lithium-ion energy storage system in Ukraine.

The 1MW/2.25 megawatt-hour pilot project has been installed at the Zaporizhzhya power plant in the city of Energodar.
