Kyiv wants to up this to 27% by 2030. Other similar energy storage systems in Eastern Europe include Lithuanian electricity transmission system operator Litgrid's 200-MW units launched in 2023 and a 55-MW battery energy storage system in Razlog in southwestern Bulgaria that went online in 2024.
The Kyiv Pumped-Storage Power Plant ( Ukrainian: Ки́ївська гідроакумулювальна електростанція) is a pumped-storage power station on the west bank of the Kyiv Reservoir in Vyshhorod, Ukraine. The Kyiv Reservoir serves as the lower reservoir and the upper reservoir is located 70 m (230 ft) above the lower.
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).

It can support the airport grid during high demand or store electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, . Many energy storage systems are available . The most frequently discussed for use in airports are batteries, , , hydrogen, or a combination of both , .
This limits stress on the surrounding power grid and may reduce the cost of more extensive grid connections to the airport. Energy storage can also store electricity from renewable energy sources at the airport to increase self-consumption and, in some cases, allow for electric aircraft charging using only renewable energy.
An innovative system for sustainable energy generation is currently in use at Munich Airport: a container with photovoltaic panels and wind rotors from FlowGen, a company specializing in green energy system solutions. In cooperation with Munich Airport, the mobile energy container is being used to charge electric vehicles.
Several methods are available for airports to supply the electricity demand from aircraft charging, each with challenges and opportunities. The energy transition at airports also includes introducing electricity production from renewable energy sources and implementing energy storage systems.
In this week's Charging Forward, Gore Street, Eku and BW ESS reach energisation at UK battery energy storage system (BESS) projects, amid warnings over an oversubscribed grid connection queue. UK energy storage developer Root-Power has secured planning consent for a 40 MW/80 MWh BESS project in Brinsworth, Rotherham.
Major developers of UK energy storage projects include EDF, Pivot Power, Statera, and RES, with each company active in several power supply and flexibility markets, providing services to National Grid, Distribution Network Operators (DNOs), as well as operating in the wholesale energy markets.
The UK is one of the most attractive European countries for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) investments. It currently has the highest installed grid-scale BESS capacity in Europe and offers diverse revenue streams, supported by strong governmental and grid operator backing.
But the UK grid currently lacks the capacity to accommodate a massive renewables energy push. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF), for every £1 the UK has spent on renewables it has spent only 25p on cables and power lines.
