The US Embassy emphasised that the combination of American and Ukrainian innovations strengthens energy security; the batteries are intended to help the system respond to disruptions during Russian attacks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DFC has approved a loan for DTEK\u2019s storage complex.<\/li>\n<li>The maximum funding limit is $185 million.<\/li>\n<li>Six battery facilities are already operational at the power stations.<\/li>\n<li>The funds will be used to repay the interim financing for the project.<\/li>\n<li>DTEK is also collaborating with GE Vernova on gas-fired power generation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The US Embassy discussed the resilience of the power system with DTEK<\/h2>\n<p>Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires ad interim of the United States in Ukraine <strong>Paul Houston<\/strong> met with the Advisory Council <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/economics\/dtek-ta-ge-vernova-ugoda-900-mln\/\">DTEK<\/a>. The parties discussed the development of Ukraine\u2019s energy sector, its resilience to Russian attacks, and further cooperation between Kyiv and Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Houston highlighted the progress made in restoring and strengthening the energy infrastructure. He said that combining American technology with Ukrainian innovation helps to enhance the energy security of both countries.<\/p>\n<h2>The funding will be used to refinance the existing battery complex<\/h2>\n<p>According to the DFC\u2019s information summary, the maximum amount of debt financing is up to $185 million. It is intended to repay the interim financing raised for the construction and commissioning of facilities, rather than for new construction.<\/p>\n<p>Battery systems based on technology from the American company Fluence are in operation at six sites in central Ukraine. They respond to outages in a matter of milliseconds; DFC links the complex\u2019s operation to power system balancing, frequency regulation and the prevention of frequency imbalances. The corporation has classified the project as \u00abhighly impactful\u00bb according to its methodology.<\/p>\n<h2>DTEK is preparing a gas-fired power station in Burshtyn and a wind project<\/h2>\n<p>In June, DTEK and the US-based GE Vernova signed a memorandum regarding the development of a gas-fired power station with a capacity of up to 650 MW at the Burshtyn Thermal Power Station site. The project involves state-of-the-art gas turbines, an investment of approximately \u20ac900 million and a target commercial launch by 2032.<\/p>\n<p>The company is also planning a 650 MW wind power project in the Poltava region. According to DTEK\u2019s plans, the power station will be able to supply electricity to up to one million households.<\/p>\n<h2>DTEK\u2019s Advisory Board is chaired by former US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt<\/h2>\n<p>In April <strong>Jeffrey Payatt<\/strong> has been appointed Chair of the DTEK Advisory Board. Its remit covers energy security and resilience, the recovery of Ukraine\u2019s energy sector, integration into the European energy market and the development of international partnerships.<\/p>\n<p>The refinancing approved by the DFC and the proposed projects for energy storage, gas and wind generation combine the renewal of the energy sector with the development of flexible capacity. Batteries can quickly stabilise the system during short-term disturbances, whilst the future gas-fired power station is designed for controlled electricity generation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DFC has approved a loan of up to $185 million for DTEK to repay the interim financing for six operational 200 MW \/ 400 MWh energy storage systems.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":207433355,"featured_media":30121,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rank_math_description":"DFC \u0441\u0445\u0432\u0430\u043b\u0438\u043b\u0430 \u0414\u0422\u0415\u041a \u043a\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438\u0442 \u0434\u043e $185 \u043c\u043b\u043d \u0434\u043b\u044f \u043f\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0448\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u043f\u0440\u043e\u043c\u0456\u0436\u043d\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0444\u0456\u043d\u0430\u043d\u0441\u0443\u0432\u0430\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0448\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0438 \u0434\u0456\u044e\u0447\u0438\u0445 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c \u043d\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f 200 \u041c\u0412\u0442 \/ 400 \u041c\u0412\u0442\u00b7\u0433\u043e\u0434.","rank_math_title":"\u041a\u0440\u0435\u0434\u0438\u0442 DFC \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c \u043d\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043f\u0438\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f \u0414\u0422\u0415\u041a: \u0434\u043e $185 \u043c\u043b\u043d","rank_math_focus_keyword":"DFC","td_subtitle":"","subtitle":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[805618],"tags":[806753],"class_list":["post-30122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economics","tag-806753"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/207433355"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30122"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30122\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30124,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30122\/revisions\/30124"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
