On December 30, the Joint Stock Company "Market Operator" ceased the publication of information regarding electricity trading on the "day ahead" market (RSD) and the intraday market (IDM) on its website and Telegram channel.
"Considering the state of martial law and the enemy's attempts to destroy our energy infrastructure," – explained the company in this decision, expressing gratitude for the understanding.
Additionally, the Ukrainian Energy Exchange (UEE) also announced the suspension of auction bulletins and average price bulletins during the period of martial law.
"In accordance with the order of the Minister of Energy of Ukraine … dated 27.12.2024 No. 27-dsp, during the period of martial law and until the last day of the month following the month of cessation or cancellation of martial law, auction bulletins and average price bulletins will not be available for viewing on the website," the message specifies.
At the same time, market participants and experts are already criticizing this decision.
"What understanding? There is none! Why do this? How does it affect martial law?" – wrote energy sector analyst Denis Sakva from the investment company "Dragon Capital."
"How to kill the electricity market and create another opportunity to steal billions of hryvnias... Now, scheming in the electricity market will begin," – also critically reacted to this decision former head of the board of GTSU Sergey Makogon on Facebook.
