EEX Asserts Itself In A Difficult Market Environment – Boom In Short-Term Trading – Natural Gas Market Reaches Record Level

0
0

In the past business year, the European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) succeeded in expanding its position as major energy exchange in Europe and increasing the liquidity of its trading markets for power, natural gas and emission allowances. In spite of the uncertainty on the market and a wait-and-see attitude of the market participants because of the financial crisis and the turnaround in energy policy adopted by the government in Germany, EEX managed to keep its trade volume stable and even increase it in some segments. The further expansion of the product and service range and the continuous improvement of the infrastructure for the customers were decisive for this positive development. However, there were different developments in the various business fields of EEX. Overall, a shift in trading activities towards shorter terms was observed in the fields of power and natural gas. This is a trend which will continue with the increase in the share of renewable energies in the energy mix.

“Without anticipating the final figures at the current point in time we can state that 2011 was yet another record year for EEX in terms of sales and profit“, says Peter Reitz, Chief Executive Officer of EEX. “This is a good basis for continuing the growth of EEX Group this year. For this reason, we are convinced that we will achieve our strategic aims by 2015.”
