CLUSTER INDICATORS		2023 HIGHLIGHTS AND NEXT STEPS
	Markets and integration	The Law on REMIT was adopted in June 2023 and its implementation started. Ukraine certified its gas storage operator. Ukraine should accelerate transposition and implementation of the Electricity Integration Package as a precondition for the coupling of its short-term markets. Ukraine should re-establish the gas market fundamentals and further strengthen the unbundling status of GTSOU.
	Decarbonising the energy sector	Ukraine adopted a law which provides the legal framework for implementing a guarantees of origin registry, introduces a net billing scheme for self-consumption and provides directions for future renewable energy auctions. Ukraine should submit the draft NECP to the Secretariat.
	Ensuring energy security	The operation of the electricity system was preserved despite severe energy infrastructure damages caused by the Russian military aggression. Ukraine fulfilled the gas storage targets. Ukraine should improve the risk-preparedness planning starting with the transposition of the Regulation (EU) 2019/941 on Risk-preparedness in the Electricity Sector and the designation of a competent authority. Ukraine should adopt a risk assessment for the gas market and transpose the Security of Gas Supply Regulation.
	Improving the environment	In Ukraine, implementation of the environmental acquis is overshadowed by the ongoing military aggression. Nevertheless, compliance is still high.
	Performance of authorities	The regulator certified the gas storage system operator in line with the Energy Community gas regulation and adopted a set of secondary legislation acts enabling REMIT implementation. NEURC should adopt the remaining REMIT legislation and launch the relevant investigatory and enforcement actions.
