Sept. 10, 2025. (Bohdan Nazarenko/DTEK) Ukraine's biggest private energy firm, DTEK, has launched a major battery storage facility that will bring power to hundreds of thousands of homes and strengthen the grid ahead of expected Russian attacks this winter, the company said.
Ukraine has 12 gas storage facilities operated by Ukrtransgaz. Five of these are located in Western Ukraine, two in Central Ukraine and five in Eastern Ukraine. In addition one gas storage, the Hlibivske storage facility, operated by Chornomornaftogaz, is located in Crimea and currently is not controlled by Ukraine authorities.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is supporting Ukraine 's energy security by lending €22.3 million to private Ukrainian energy company Power One for the financing of new peaking generation capacity and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Ukraine's energy facilities have faced a campaign of destruction since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, with the attacks intensifying in October 2025.
