This Debate will aim at identifying which steps are still required for Ukraine to join the Internal Energy Market.

Following the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation’s army, repeated statements have been made, at the highest European political level, about the prospect of Ukraine joining the European Union. While Ukraine’s accession will not happen immediately, there may be an opportunity for Ukraine to participate in part or even in full in the Internal Energy Market even before it becomes a member of the European Union.

Ukraine is already a contracting party of the Energy Community and has been making steady progress in implementing the energy acquis communautaire.

During the event we will discuss the current state of play in that process and aim at identifying which steps are possible – especially at regulatory and market design level – in order for Ukraine to participate actively in the Internal electricity and gas Markets in the short term.
