As of 27 July, EEX will introduce new order books for the TTF and THE markets with a minimum lot size of 5 MW (and multiples thereof) to facilitate trading of larger transaction volumes, alongside the existing TTF and THE 1 MW contracts. Trade registration for the new contracts will be possible in lots of 1 MW.   

The new 5 MW TTF and THE order books will be fully integrated into EEX’s natural gas spread trading framework, enabling location spreads with other European market areas, inter-product spreads between the 5 MW and 1 MW order books, as well as standard time spreads across different contract maturities.

EEX will introduce a new natural gas spot trading system under the name M7G, subject to approval from the Exchange Council. The M7G system will replace the current solution, with the switch planned for the second half of 2027. The implementation of the new system is already under way with a testing phase involving multiple front-end vendors. In addition, the open API setup will allow seamless connection for all external third parties. EEX is currently preparing more detailed information and documentation and will update trading participants via Customer Information about all relevant details. 

Since the second half of 2025, EEX has seen growing interest in its offering for the PVB spot market with extraordinary growth rates in the past three months. In line with the increasing customer demand, EEX and ECC are offering a temporary fee waiver for all transactions concluded in Spanish PVB natural gas spot contracts (Within-Day, Day, Weekend) until 31 December 2026. These transactions will be fully exempt from trading and clearing fees. In addition, the fee waiver covers the PVB leg in all locational spreads between PVB, PEG and (TTF) spot contracts. 

EEX has been appointed by the European Commission to host the fourth phase of the Common Auction Platform (CAP4) for the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) emissions allowances, starting January 2027. The duration of the contract has been set for five years. This reinforces EEX’s central role in EU carbon markets and underpins the rollout of the expanded ETS, including buildings and transport.
