Over the past month, the BETS Trading Platform held 22 trading sessions for the purchase and sale of natural gas on the medium- and long-term markets, as well as four trading sessions each day on the short-term market.
A total of 118 initial positions were formed at BETS for trading resources for June, July, and August 2026 in the gas transmission system (GTS) and underground gas storage facilities (UGS). In total, 38.9 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold on the medium- and long-term market, more than double the figure for the previous period. On the short-term market, 8.42 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold.
On the medium- and long-term market in June, quoted prices in the section of the same name ranged from 20,595.89 to 21,685.83 UAH excluding VAT. On the short-term market, exchange rates fluctuated daily within the range of 20,959.12–21,626.64 UAH excluding VAT. Prices remained stable throughout the month.
“In June, the natural gas market on the UEB demonstrated sustained activity following May’s recovery and a transition to a more mature phase. Despite the influence of external factors, the Ukrainian exchange segment remained operational and liquid: participants actively established positions for both buying and selling, and demand for June’s supply confirmed the importance of transparent price indicators for supply planning. “For the UEB, this is a signal that exchange mechanisms continue to be a key tool for establishing an objective market price, managing commercial risks, and maintaining the stability of the wholesale natural gas market,” noted UEB CEO O. Kovalenko.
