About Ukrainian air energy storage power station
In Ukraine, compressed air energy storage (CAES) power stations are being developed to enhance energy storage capabilities. For instance, DTEK is constructing six energy storage power plants across multiple locations, with a total capacity of 400MWh, which can power approximately 600,000 households for two hours1.CAES technology works by compressing air to high pressure in a storage vessel or underground cavern, which can later be released to generate electricity when needed2. This method allows for efficient energy storage and helps balance supply and demand in the energy grid.

6 FAQs about [Ukrainian air energy storage power station]
How many energy storage plants are there in Ukraine?
The six energy storage plants will be located at multiple sites across Ukraine, with capacities ranging from 20 MW to 50 MW and a total capacity of 200 MW. Together, they will store up to 400 MWh of electricity – enough to supply two hours of power to 600,000 homes (equivalent to roughly half the households in Kyiv).
Why is Ukraine investing €140 million in energy storage?
The €140 million total investment aims to enhance power grid stability, bolstering Ukraine’s energy security and independence. The project will be the biggest operational energy storage portfolio in Eastern Europe at the time of commissioning.
What percentage of Ukraine's energy comes from nuclear power plants?
Prior to the full-scale invasion, 52% of Ukraine’s energy came from the country’s four functioning nuclear power plants. Following the Russian seizure of the 6 GW Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Ukraine’s remaining nine reactors have a total generation capacity just short of 8 GW.
What happened to Ukraine's thermal power stations in September 2024?
Ukraine's thermal power stations – primarily coal-fired – have borne the brunt of the attacks. Despite heroic efforts to maintain operations, as of September 2024, the country had lost 80% of its thermal capacity due to Russian attacks. Its large nuclear energy sector, which contributes 55% of total generation, has been less affected.
Does Ukraine need a long-term energy system?
More than ever, Ukraine needs support to transition towards a long-term energy system that is resilient, flexible and secure. The EU has the expertise, the ability and the will to help make that happen. Ukraine's energy systems have suffered significant damage since the full-scale invasion of 2022.
Is Russia attacking Ukraine's energy system?
Since its full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia has been regularly targeting Ukraine’s energy system. The attacks have intensified since the spring of 2024, causing significant disruptions to energy provision for Ukrainian households and other consumers.
