About forum

In 2026, the Ukrainian energy market is undergoing the most significant transformation in its history. After operating for over a year without Russian gas transit and amidst a massive decentralization of generation, Ukraine is emerging as a new frontier of opportunity for European traders and investors.

The Europe-Ukraine Energy Trading Forum 2026 in Budapest is the meeting point for those who do not just observe changes but capitalize on them. We will discuss how the reconstruction of the energy system creates new trading instruments, how Market Coupling works in practice, and how to leverage Ukrainian gas storage as a stable asset for the EU.
