A STEP TOWARDS MARKET COUPLING: JSC «MARKET OPERATOR» AGREES ON TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS WITH EUROPEAN PARTNERS

10.04.2026

JSC «Market Operator» continues its systematic preparations for market coupling with the European electricity market. The Company welcomes the adoption of the relevant legislation, which establishes the necessary legal framework for integration, and expects the consistent and effective implementation of the envisaged reforms aimed at the full integration of Ukraine into the European energy market.

For its part, representatives of JSC «Market Operator» held meetings on 7–8 April with colleagues from the Slovak company JSC «Sfera», the developer of the XMtrade/PXS software used for the organization and operation of trading on the day-ahead market (DAM) and the intraday market (IDM) in Ukraine. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss the details of implementing software modifications aimed at enabling processes that will support market coupling.

The parties also discussed the possibility of introducing a new type of order on the DAM—a block order—which allows combining buy and sell transactions within a single block, as well as the implementation of new functionalities and interfaces for the IDM.

Changes to the software in the IDM segment also provide for the possibility of further expanding functionality required for the integration of Ukraine’s intraday market with the European intraday market (SIDC), as well as integration with the information systems of other participants in this coupling.
