Product description

In intraday trading on EEX, power contracts with delivery on the same or on the next day are traded. On account of an increased demand, trading participants buy additional quantities of power or sell excess capacities.

In this way, it is possible to take very short-term influences on the forecast profiles into account and to avoid discrepancies in schedule management. This contributes to the minimisation of the balance energy costs.

Trading hours

On the intraday market of EEX, trading participants can trade the individual hours of the current day up to 75 minutes prior to the beginning of delivery. Moreover, several consecutive hours can also be traded as a block. As of 3.00 p.m. the hours of the following day can be traded. Intraday trading takes place around the clock on every day of the year.

Place of delivery

The delivery area comprises the four balance areas in Germany. The trading participants have to present a balance agreement in a TSO zone of their choice in order to be able to participate in the Intraday Market.

Advantages of intraday trading in power
