Organiser: Kyiv Energy and Climate Lab (KECLab)
Format: online
Ukraine has taken an important step toward deeper integration with the EU electricity market through the recent adoption of the Electricity Integration Package (EIP). But legal adoption is only the beginning.
The real test now is implementation: secondary legislation, regulatory decisions, institutional coordination, market readiness, and the practical steps needed to move from formal alignment with EU rules toward actual market integration.
This KECLab Policy Dialogue will bring together Ukrainian and European stakeholders to discuss what the EIP changes in practice, where the key implementation risks remain, and how Ukraine can move closer to the EU internal electricity market.
The discussion will focus on:
Why is the EIP a strategic milestone for Ukraine?
What does it mean for market integration with the EU?
How does it change Ukraine’s EU accession trajectory?
Which parts of the EU Clean Energy Package have been transposed, and where do gaps remain?
What were the most politically or technically debated elements?
Next steps: secondary legislation, NEURC implementation acts
For Ukraine, electricity market integration with the EU is not a technical side issue. It is part of the country’s energy security, recovery, regulatory credibility, and EU accession trajectory.
This discussion will look beyond the headline of adoption and focus on the harder question: what needs to happen next?
