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 electricity market

The first stage involves signing of the Electricity Transmission Agreement with the Transmission System Operator (Ukrenergo, NPC). The second stage involves signing of the Electricity Distribution Agreement with the Distribution System Operators (local Oblenergos, DTEK).  Both market players partially perform the function of actual management of power supply activities.

The main difference between these two market participants is that Ukrenergo,  NPC is responsible for:

  • system administration;

  • maintenance and transmission of electric power from manufacturers to consumers via 110 kV-750 kV lines.


While Oblenergo is responsible for:

  • efficient and safe operation, maintenance and development of 110 kV power grids.

What is the process of acceding to Oblenergo?

This stage is important both for those who are planning to provide services to domestic consumers and for those who are planning to provide electricity supply services to non-domestic consumers.

All Distribution System Operators make public the so-called “registers” of the companies that are connected to the electricity distribution system. This is due to the fact that earlier both supply and distribution functions were performed solely by Oblenergo.

Today, the distribution function is performed by PJSCs, OJSCs (for example, Kyivoblenergo, PJSC, Cherkasyoblenergo, OJSC), and the supply function is performed, as a rule, by similar companies which are usually called “Kyivoblenergo, LLC” or “Cherkasyoblenergo, LLC” (hereinafter referred to as the LLCs).

Now consumers can choose between the above companies or contact other businessmen, who will buy electricity from the producers on the markets and the exchange.

Please note! The procedure for acceding to different distribution system operators varies slightly from region to region regions. However, the terms and procedures for the accession of suppliers to the distribution system operators are established by law.

According to the Retail Electricity Market Regulations, the electricity supplier that intends to join the Distribution System Operator must provide the following documents:

  • An application for accession;

  • A copy of the license (order) to supply electric power to the consumer;

  • A power of attorney for a representative to conclude agreements;

  • A copy of the taxpayer certificate.


In addition, each certain oblenergo may offer another, additional list of required documents. So, it is better to inquire this information from a specific Distribution System Operator.

Following submission of the documents, the supply company shall be registered in the register, which reflects its potential possibility to supply electric power within the respective territory (region, city/town).

In our practice, we had a case when our specialists ensured the inclusion of the Client into the electricity market on a turnkey basis. Following the inclusion, the Client decided to join the distribution system operators from all over Ukraine. And this can be done, moreover - after our consultation on the accession procedure in different regions, the Client managed to join different Oblenergos in a fast and efficient manner.


What is the validity period of bilateral contracts in the energy market?

There are clear rules governing the operation of bilateral contracts in the energy market, including conditions for their conclusion. For example, all settlements must occur only in monetary terms, and the contract should specify terms, responsibility for imbalances, deliveries, price, energy volume, etc.

Market rules are approved by the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Public Utilities (NCSREPU) and may change, so it's crucial to closely monitor these developments as they directly impact your activities as a market participant. 

As for the specific duration of contracts, the law stipulates that the maximum term of a bilateral contract can be defined by the NCSREPU. Regarding the minimum duration, the contract must be concluded for a period of no less than 6 months.
