25 years of EEX
On 15 June 2000, a small Leipzig-based power exchange – today's EEX – saw its first trade on the power spot market. Since then, this exchange has grown into a global network of companies offering trading and clearing for energy and commodities, spanning Europe, Asia, and North America – the wider EEX Group.
Over the past quarter of a century, we have continuously expanded our product range, trading volumes, customer base and number of locations. From power to emissions, natural gas to freight, guarantees of origin and soon hydrogen, we have built a diverse and innovative marketplace. Today, EEX operates energy and commodity markets worldwide, having become the largest power exchange with its trading venues in Europe and beyond.
