Last month, PP BETS held 22 trading sessions for the purchase and sale of natural gas in the medium and long-term market, as well as 4 trading sessions each day in the short-term market.
PP BETS formed 168 starting positions for trading in April, May 2025 and subsequent months in the GTS and UGS. In total 41,87 million cubic meters of natural gas were sold on the medium and long-term market. In the short-term market, 718 thousand cubic meters of natural gas were sold.
On the mid- and long-term market in April, quoted prices in the same section were in the range of UAH 15300-17500, excluding VAT. The initiators of the auctions formed starting positions mainly for purchase.
On the short-term market, exchange rates fluctuated daily in the lower range of UAH 14843,75-15335 excl. VAT. Sales were only available in the Ukrainian GTS. For more than a year now, the state-owned gas company has been placing bids in this segment as part of gas sales under production sharing agreements.
“In April, there was an increase in activity in the short-term natural gas market amid reasonable price growth - sales volumes increased 2,6 times. In the medium-term market, attention was focused on purchases by the Ukrainian GTS Operator, which purchased over 20 million cubic meters in April. We continue to develop and improve our services to ensure maximum efficiency for all trading participants,” said O. Kovalenko, CEO of UEEX.
