The draft law (No. 12087-d) on energy market integration with Europe, adopted on July 22, has sparked significant discussion among energy experts and policymakers in Ukraine. Iryna Beresneva, General Director of Tolk Ukraine LLC, emphasizes that the law will play a crucial role in enhancing transparency within the national electricity market. This is expected to lead to a more regulated environment, where companies with non-transparent business practices will be subject to scrutiny.
Key provisions of the law include the synchronization of the Ukrainian electricity market with the European Union’s energy framework. This integration aims to align Ukraine’s regulatory standards with those of European countries, promoting fair competition and accountability. Experts believe this move could also attract more European investors interested in the country’s energy sector, given the improved regulatory clarity.
