EEX Gas & Sustainability Markets newsletter | Sept 2025

Dear Customers, Partners and Friends,


For many, the start of autumn also means a new beginning. To mark the new gas year, we are excited to bring you a series of initiatives and updates, including the extension of our product portfolio. We are committed to improving your experience with us by continually extending trading opportunities and addressing your trading needs. 


On 9 September, we expanded our reach to the Baltic-Finnish gas markets, growing the EEX trading community with new members and bringing more physical gas spot and derivatives products to this dynamically growing market. 


In addition, we will be introducing new spreads, covering spark spreads and gas spreads from 1 October. With this move, we aim to bridge our European gas and power markets, as well as combine our physical and financial gas futures, to widen your opportunities in leveraging synergies of these markets. 


As we are keen to improve your trading experience, we have already added new thresholds to our gas rebate scheme, allowing participants with high monthly traded volumes to benefit from an even higher rebate on transaction fees, as well as additional rebates on clearing fees at our clearing house ECC. 


Furthermore, we will lower the tick size on our gas spot markets to €0.005, again to address calls from the community.  


With all these upgrades, we are looking forward to a busy autumn on our gas markets – and we hope for your continued trust and support on this journey. 


Enjoy today’s newsletter, 


Steffen Köhler
Chief Commercial Officer

    Upcoming: New spreads

    On 1 October, EEX will introduce new spreads to enable more efficient price hedging opportunities. This will include combinations of spark spreads reflecting the difference between the wholesale power price and the cost of electricity production from natural gas. Furthermore, gas spreads combining the EEX Physical Gas Futures and the EEX EGSI Financial Gas Futures will be introduced to enable participants to hedge their EGSI exposure in an efficient way.

    New thresholds for gas rebate scheme

    As of 1 September 2025, EEX introduced additional thresholds for its gas rebate scheme. As a result, trading participants exceeding these volume thresholds on EEX’s gas spot markets will be granted even higher rebates on transaction fees and, additionally, receive rebates on clearing fees at European Commodity Clearing (ECC).

    Tick Size adjustment on the natural gas spot markets

    Following consultation with trading participants and as agreed with the EEX Exchange Council, EEX will adjust the minimum price fluctuation (“tick size”) on its natural gas spot markets from currently €0.025 to €0.005 to facilitate tighter spreads in the order book and to allow for optimised trading strategies. The change will come into effect on 14 October 2025.
