| |
Dear customers, partners and friends, |
| |
While EEX celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, our natural gas markets have also grown up. 18 years ago, we started trading in this asset class, and over the years we have seen it grow from a product portfolio offered for only a single market in the north of Germany to encompass all major European gas markets. And this will only expand further with the integration of GET Baltic later this year.
We are not only committed to extending our gas market reach but also to evolve the products and increase the attractiveness of our offering. This year alone we’ve made a huge step forward through the increase of tradable maturities on our TTF futures markets, an extended rebate scheme and the introduction of single-sided nomination on the NBP market.
In return, we’ve seen growing interest in trading on our markets. Up until May, 3,650 TWh were traded on EEX Group’s gas market so far this year, which is a 19% increase compared to the same period last year, with strong growth both on the spot as well as on the derivatives market.
But our gas markets are not standing alone. We believe that an integrated offering including services through our dedicated biogas or hydrogen registry business or the support for the ramp-up of the hydrogen markets will be taken up well by the market, and we will further strengthen our offering in this regard. Furthermore, through our comprehensive spread offering, we allow for linking the gas market to our highly liquid power derivatives market.
I hope to catch up with many of you bilaterally at the FIA Forum in Leipzig or one of our customer workshops all around Europe this year.
Best regards,
Steffen Köhler
Chief Commercial Officer

| | | | GET Baltic integration: Member onboarding in full swing |
| |
On 9 September 2025, Baltic-Finnish gas markets currently tradable at GET Baltic will be integrated into EEX which will ultimately extend the product range for all participants admitted at EEX. Previously, around one fifth of GET Baltic’s customer base were admitted at both EEX and GET Baltic. For these clients, the integration will facilitate access to the markets through their availability via one single platform.
In line with the positive feedback from the trading community, two further members have recently been onboarded to EEX and therefore, benefit from EEX’s wide product range for European gas markets even before the integration: Axpo Polska Sp. z.o.o. and Solumus Spolka Akcyjna. More than 40 customers are in the final stages of admission.
In addition to a more streamlined and more efficient trading setup, all participants benefit from new trading functionalities after the integration, i.e. spreads between the Baltic-Finnish and the current EEX gas markets. As a result, we expect more than 60 further trading participants to join EEX markets up until the launch. All existing EEX trading participants will be able to trade the Baltic-Finnish markets.

| | | | EEX’s HYDRIX selected by BMWK for Carbon Contracts for Difference |
| |
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) has selected EEX’s HYDRIX as reference for its Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfD), underpinning the index’s credibility as a trusted benchmark for the green hydrogen market.
CCfD are designed to promote the adoption of green technologies by bridging the economic gap between conventional and sustainable production methods in energy-intensive industries. These contracts incentivise industries to transition towards climate-friendly solutions by offering companies financial planning security with regard to certain price developments as, for example, for energy carriers such as green hydrogen.

| | | French Biomethane Production Certificates (CPB) Registry go-live |
| |
In April, EEX was mandated by the French Ministry in charge of Energy to operate the registry for Biogas Production Certificates (referred to as CPBs in the industry). The registry will be accessible as of 16 June 2025.
The CPBs scheme is part of the French Climate and Resilience act and will come into force in 2026. It is designed to support the development of biomethane in France and requires natural gas suppliers to offer their customers a minimum share of biogas via an obligation to return CPBs to the French state.
Natural gas suppliers will be able to obtain certificates by producing biomethane themselves, or by purchasing certificates from biomethane producers.

| | | | Hedging of EGSI exposure via EEX EGSI Financial Gas Futures |
| |
EEX has recently seen increasing interest in its EGSI Financial Gas Futures, which is the result of a growing use of synthetic spreads between EEX’s physical and financial gas futures contracts. In April, EGSI volumes reached a peak at almost 1 TWh traded.
By trading a combination of the EEX Physical Gas Futures and the EEX EGSI Financial Gas Futures, participants are enabled to hedge their EGSI exposure in an efficient way while benefiting from the full gas rebate scheme offered by EEX.
