Ukrainian businesses can lower costs and earn money from electricity price differentials using storage systems, said D.Solutions CEO Serhii Kovalenko.

According to D.Solutions, investments by Ukrainian businesses in solar power plants and energy storage pay off in 2.5–3 years. About 30% of medium and large companies have already achieved energy independence.

As part of the SPEARS project, NASA demonstrated solid-state batteries that successfully passed thermal-vacuum tests at temperatures from +100 to −170 °C without damage. The technology aims to power lunar rovers and astronaut emergency kits in conditions where lithium-ion batteries fail.

Scientists from Ireland and Spain have created carbon nanofibers for sodium-ion batteries from lignosulfonate—a paper industry by-product—using water instead of organic solvents.

In September 2026, battery production in China grew by 57.3%, and total sales of energy storage systems and traction batteries increased to 222.7 GWh amid global demand.

Tesla deployed 13.7 GWh of energy storage systems in the third quarter of 2026, cementing its energy business as a key driver of corporate growth.

Researchers developed a new lithium-sulfur chemistry utilizing a three-electron reaction, boosting battery stack energy density to 477 Wh/kg.

D.Solutions CEO Serhiy Kovalenko stated that Ukrainian enterprises are losing profits daily due to the chaotic operation of solar stations and batteries. Combining these assets into a single managed energy portfolio can turn resilience costs into a source of additional savings.

Huawei has deployed the AI system SmartEMO 2.0 in Ukraine for automated management of energy storage systems. According to RBC-Ukraine, the system delivers up to 19.7% electricity savings by optimizing charge cycles under the dynamic DAD tariff.

D.Solutions (DTEK Group) has offered Ukrainian businesses four financing models for solar power plants and storage systems: a loan, an ESCO contract, a zero-investment "Sun Contract," and phased implementation via YASNO Power. The payback period is from two years when surplus is sold to the grid.

D.TRADING (DTEK) and Finnish Capalo AI have entered into a strategic partnership, offering BESS owners in Europe commercial models that combine bankable revenue predictability with AI optimization on short-term markets.

DTEK stated that Ukraine’s integration into the EU energy market strengthens Europe’s energy security, while Ukraine’s experience of operating under crisis conditions becomes a competitive advantage for the entire continent.

Flinders University scientists have presented an aqueous zinc-iodine battery with a resource of over 60,000 cycles and three-minute charging. The technology is positioned as a safe and cheap alternative to lithium-ion batteries.

🇨🇳 China has launched the world's largest 'power bank' for the power grid. The DongSu complex in Inner Mongolia (1 GW / 4 GWh) is equipped with grid-forming technology, allowing the grid to be restarted after accidents. The $445 million project has become a key element of China's strategy to stabilize RES for 2026–2030. 🌪️⚡

🇬🇧 British scientists have created a diamond nuclear battery that will work for 5,000 years! 💎⚡ The device uses carbon-14 from nuclear waste. It is safe because the radiation is absorbed inside the diamond. Perfect for pacemakers and space probes, but not for smartphones. 🚀🏥 #Science #Battery #Future #UK

🔋 Ukrainian business is changing strategy: Energy Storage systems now make up 65% of orders, overtaking solar panels. 📉 D.Solutions experts note a 20% annual growth in demand for energy equipment. 🚀 Key trend of 2026: Transition from "winter survival" to long-term planning for 3–5 years. 💰 Accumulators allow not only surviving outages but also earning on electricity arbitrage. 🛠 YASNO recommends: SPP + Accumulators + Generators = the ideal formula for energy security. 📊 An energy audit is mandatory before purchase for accurate power calculation. #YASNO #EnergyStorage #Ukraine #Business #Energy #D_Solutions

⚡️ Energy Breakthrough: Europe Exceeds 100 GWh Energy Storage Mark! 🇪🇺 🔋 In 2025, a record 36 GWh of storage systems were installed in the EU. This will power 75 million households. 💰 Batteries are becoming cheaper than gas: by 2030, grid balancing via BESS will be 20% more cost-effective than gas plants. ⚠️ Risk Debates: British experts warn of grid overload, but analysts are confident in the controllability of the process. 📉 Battery costs have dropped by 90% since 2010. #Energy #BESS #GreenTech #Europe #Engie

🇨🇳 China has installed the first SMR module 'Linglong-1' on Hainan. This could change the energy landscape: faster, more compact, but with risks. 🌍 Onkalo in Finland is set to open in 2026 — the first waste repository. ⚠️ Experts debate: 60-70 times more energy or the risk of thousands of accidents? #NuclearEnergy #SMR #Linglong1 #ChinaDaily #Onkalo
