    Options - further trading opportunities for the power markets

    EEX offers European-styled options on financially settled Base Month, Base Quarter and Base Year Futures for exchange trading and trade registration. On 15th February 2020, EEX introduced new Futures Styled Margin Options which extend trading opportunities for customers at EEX. Futures Styled Margin Options are a more liquidity-preserving options product, as the up-front premium payment is broken down into daily margin payments - making it easier for portfolio and risk managers to evaluate their daily exposure. Customers now have the choice to use both instruments, Equity Styled Options and Futures Styled Options, in parallel, to see which products best suit their needs.

    Options Overview (available as equity style (option premium paid up front) and futures style (premium paid on expiry)):

    EEX German Power Options

    • EEX offers trading in options on the EEX German Power Base Future (Month, Quarter, Year).
    • In addition, EEX offers four expiry dates for options on EEX German Power Base Year Futures - the so-called Short Dated Options.
    • Regardless of the different maturities, the corresponding futures position of the underlying asset is booked upon the exercising of the option.
