Natural gas trading results in July 2026

During the past month, 23 trading sessions for the purchase and sale of natural gas were held at PP BETS on the medium and long-term market, as well as 4 trading sessions each day on the short-term market.

168 starting positions were formed in the PP BETS for trading resources in July, August, September and November 2026, in the GTS and UGS. In total, 25.66 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold on the medium- and long-term market. 12.82 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold on the short-term market.

On the medium and long-term market in July, quoted prices in the section of the same name were in the range of 20600-21300 UAH excluding VAT. On the short-term market, exchange rates changed daily in the range of 20310.15-21310.15 UAH excluding VAT. Prices had an upward trend in the second half of the month.

"In July, the natural gas market on the UEEX maintained stable trading activity, and participants continued to form positions for both buying and selling the resource for different supply periods. In the conditions of a virtually closed domestic market, the key factors in pricing remained the ratio of supply and demand in Ukraine, consumer needs and resource availability." Regular trading in the medium-, long- and short-term segments of the UEEX provides participants with the opportunity to respond promptly to changes in the market situation, and the prices formed based on the results of trading remain an important reference point for the wholesale natural gas market,” said O. Kovalenko, CEO of the UEEX.
