Legal advice on registering as a gas market participant
Registration as a gas market participant is a complicated process divided into several steps. If you want to understand all the nuances and have your questions answered, we recommend that you contact our lawyers for an introductory consultation.
At such consultation you will find out:
-
What needs to be done once the company is connected to the gas market?
-
Do I have to install additional equipment for the gas supply?
-
Who do you need to conclude contracts with in order to start operations?
The introductory consultation is an opportunity to get to know the lawyer who will deal with your case and to agree with him on a step-by-step algorithm of actions. We are focused on ensuring that you can achieve your objective in the shortest possible time, so we explain everything in detail and in simple language, rather than simply quoting legislation.
The timeframe for inclusion in the gas market is about a month.
In the course of work there is always a need for additional costs associated, for example, with the receipt of electronic digital signatures, accreditation at the Ukrainian Energy Exchange, etc. The total amount of such costs is about UAH 5K.
Our experts can tell you the exact amount of legal services on registration as a gas market participant in Ukraine after clarifying all the details.
The procedure of joining the gas market includes a number of stages, such as:
- Signing of a Gas Transmission Agreement;

Procedure for registration as a participant in the electricity market of Ukraine
In order to register as a participant in the electricity market, provided you already have a license, you will need to go through a number of registration steps:
-
Obtaining the EIC code of type X, an identifying code in the electricity market which will be used to conclude any transaction;
-
Signing an agreement with Ukrenergo. This will enable access to networks for the electricity, and payment will be set for such services;
-
Connection to Oblenergo. You can connect to any number of Oblenergos in Ukraine. As a standard, we conduct the first connection and offer our Clients a clear instruction on how to connect to the following Oblenergos, at their discretion;
-
Conclusion of the agreement with the Market Operator. This can be done simultaneously with the connection to the Oblenergo. To work with the Market Operator you need an account, which requires the preparation of a certain package of documents;
-
Registration on the Ukrainian Energy Exchange. Registration is performed online on the website of the Ukrainian Energy Exchange. During registration, you will need to select the desired sections.
Please note! In fact, the electricity market consists of several separate markets, which are called segments. They operate independently, with their own rules and prices.
You can choose the desired market segments. For example, if you are going to make “short” deals – buying today and selling tomorrow – all it takes is to register in the day-ahead and intraday markets.
Stages of entering the natural gas market
In contrast to the electricity market, the Ukrainian gas market has fewer stages. However, they are somewhat more extensive.
Stage 1: Starting a company and obtaining the license. In order to obtain the license, you must meet a number of requirements, such as:
- To open bank accounts;
- To have premises for customer service;
- To develop a special website that will meet the licensing requirements and which is required to obtain a license.
Stage 2: Obtaining an EIC-code, the so-called identifier on the natural gas market. It can be compared to the identification code of a natural person.
Stage 3, in accordance with the Natural Gas Supply Regulations, is the signing of an agreement with the Gas Transmission System Operator (GTS Operator, LLC), which was established as a result of the previously mentioned unbundling.
After that, one can already think about supplying gas to actual consumers, but this is also the task of the gas transmission company. Although, if the GTS Operator is essentially a global gas transporter (through trunk pipelines), the Gas Distribution System Operators (the so-called Oblgaz) are local transporters by regions and cities, with whom it is also necessary to sign corresponding agreements on natural gas transportation.
The final stage will be the completion of a number of formal steps that are vital to the company, such as:
- Recruitment of appropriate staff;
- Work in the natural gas trading system;
- Signing of agreements with a supplier.
If you want to save time and money at all these stages, and perform them correctly and without excessive effort, don’t hesitate to contact us. We can help you at any stage of your business registration.
