19.05.2026 18:08

During the past month, 23 trading sessions for the purchase and sale of natural gas on the medium- and long-term market were held in the SEITS software package, as well as 4 trading sessions every day on the short-term market.

A total of 151 starting positions were formed in the SEITS for trading April, May 2026 resources, and subsequent months in the GTS and UGS.

Gas Sales Volumes:

  • Medium- and long-term market: 7.87 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold.

  • Short-term market: 13.22 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold.

Price Indicators:

  • Medium- and long-term market: quotation prices were in the range of UAH 22,452–25,835 per thousand cubic meters (excl. VAT).

  • Short-term market: exchange rates fluctuated daily within the range of UAH 22,349.12–25,559.65 per thousand cubic meters (excl. VAT).

A steady downward trend in prices was observed only in the last decade of the month.

"In April, the natural gas market on the UEEX adapted to the general wholesale market trend—a traditional decline in demand following the end of the heating season. In the absence of economic incentives for imports, trading activity continued to concentrate on the domestic market. The UEEX continues to ensure the stable and uninterrupted operation of trading systems, creating the most efficient conditions for users," noted O. Kovalenko, CEO of UEEX.
