EEX Wind Power Future
Increasing power generation from renewables (e.g. wind power), in combination with the uncertainty of weather, leads to a steadily growing price impact for conventional power revenues. At the same time, there is an expanding number of companies with considerable volume risk from their wind park portfolios. EEX offers an effective tool to manage both of these aspects.
EEX introduces Wind Power Futures as a standardised exchange-traded wind power derivative to enable the dedicated hedging of the wind power generation risk. The underlying is based on an internationally accredited index provided by EuroWind. Order book trading guarantees transparent pricing while counterparty risk is eliminated through clearing via ECC.

OTF Power Futures
Trading Non-Financial Instruments at EEX
When MiFID II became effective on 3rd January 2018, EEX transferred its Non-MTF offering for non-financial instruments into Organised Trading Facilities (OTFs). Within the transition, all Non-MTF products became OTF products.
The OTF markets enable participants who wish to fulfil their positions physically to trade without fulfilling requirements that had originally been designed for financial markets.
EEX lists financial as well as non-financial instruments on the OTF markets. Products on the OTF which "can be physically settled" are classified as financial instruments while products which "must be physically settled" are classified as non-financial instruments according to MiFID II, the latter being exempt from certain obligations of MiFID II and other financial regulation.
Advantages of trading OTF products at EEX
- Products on the OTF which "must be physically settled" are classified as non-financial instruments according to MiFID II, the latter being exempt from certain obligations of MiFID II and other financial regulation.
- High standards of transparency and supervision
- OTF trading venues expand the scope of service.
