DTEK energy holding intends to implement a pilot project to construct the Energy Storage system at Zaporizhia thermal power plant (TPP) by the end of 2020, DTEK CEO Maksym Tymchenko has said.
“Now, we have actually started the pilot project on energy storage at Zaporizhia TPP. Even despite of the current crisis, we believe that this is a very important direction. I hope that this project will be implemented by the end of the year and we will develop energy storage technologies,” he said during an online briefing on Wednesday.
Tymchenko said that containerized solutions for gas power generation based on DTEK’s TPPs are also being considered, which will be able to meet the needs of balancing.
