The Market Ukrainian energy market is undergoing a crucial period of transformation. Having been previously controlled by the local firms, last year it experienced invasion of two major Russian oil companies - LukOil and TNK. Within the last year the US-registered and Moscow-based trader Itera Energy has also risen to prominent position in Ukraine's domestic gas market, reporting the healthiest in Ukraine payments for the supplied natural gas. Resumed privatisation of electricity distribution companies has already attracted major interest on part of Russian and international bidders, including RAO UES and Electricite de France. Future consolidation of regional gas distributors by major domestic or international companies is promising to be of interest to many. At the same time the market, which constitutes of 50 million inhabitants, is quite afar from its final shape, and privatisation of oil industry undoubtedly has not been completed.. Ongoing reshuffle of retail oil products infrastructure offers attractive investment opportunities as the search for stronger partners on part of weaker Ukrainian firms continues.
