Fluence has deepened its partnership with Ukraine-headquartered energy company DTEK, agreeing to supply a large-scale battery storage project in Poland.

This morning, the Virginia, US-headquartered battery energy storage system (BESS) integrator and technology provider announced the signing of the Polish project deal with DRI, a subsidiary of Ukrainian energy investment group DTEK.

The deal covers DRI’s 133MW Trzebinia BESS project in Chrzanów, southern Poland, about 330km southwest of the capital city, Warsaw.

Fluence will provide its newest BESS solution, SmartStack. Launched in February of this year at the Energy Storage Summit EU conference, hosted by our publisher Solar Media, SmartStack is an AC block which integrates power conversion system (PCS) and thermal management into one unit, underneath the battery modules.
