Upcoming: Baltic-Finnish gas markets

    How to get access?

    Trading participants which are not yet admitted to trading at EEX have to follow the Onboarding procedure as described here Admission (eex.com). As all transactions concluded at EEX are cleared via the clearing house ECC, the admission comprises an admission at ECC as well. For that, there are two different options:

    • NCM membership for Gas – The NCM membership is based on a relationship with a Clearing Bank and enables the trading participant to trade on both spot and derivatives markets. Find more here on the ECC website.
    • DCP membership for Gas (subject to regulatory approval) – The DCP membership option is suited for companies interested in participating in spot markets (futures trading requires an NCM membership). This model enables a direct clearing relationship with ECC without involvement of a Clearing Bank. Collateral for all transactions has to be deposited in advance. Find more here on the ECC website.

    Participants who are not yet admitted to trading at EEX are required to submit their onboarding forms until 2 December 2024 in order to secure trading as of the first trading day. For existing EEX participants who would like to extend their membership to the new markets, all documents need to be submitted by 28 March 2025 for trading on the first day.

    If you are already an EEX Market Participant, and would like to trade LTU, LVA-EST, or FIN, already from day one, please return your completed forms by 28 March 2025 to membership@eex.com. Further information on the market extension process is available in the EEX Customer Information. A detailed schedule and product specifications will be published before the launch.
