During the first half of the year since the full-scale invasion began, the number of traders and suppliers in the energy market has halved – the CEO of JSC ECU

The market has consolidated, mostly the large players with considerable reserves of strength have survived.

This was reported by the CEO of JSC Energy Company of Ukraine (ECU) Vitaliy Butenko in his speech at ETCSEE.

"Ukraine bet on the market. It was a decision that largely helped to maintain the energy system," Butenko noted.

Together with European countries that also experienced the most difficult heating season in their history, we dispelled the myth about russia's terrible energy weapon, says the CEO of JSC ECU.

"Ukraine's attempt to maintain the market has been successful. The state's daring unconventional decisions, multiplied by the heroism of our armed forces, the bravery and technical art of Ukrainian energy workers, allowed us to achieve the impossible in resisting russia's energy terror," summed up Vitaliy Butenko.
