    Driving Growth: EEX responds to local demands and extends its product portfolio to support emerging markets

    Power markets 
    With the launch of the new base and peak Chubu area futures as first, EEX is extending its coverage on the Japanese power derivatives market in addition to the existing contracts for the Tokyo and Kansai areas. These new contracts provide trading participants with additional flexibility and support in implementing their strategies. 
    The EEX Japanese power market has grown most dynamically in recent years, with the total traded volume already exceeding 100 TWh in 2025, compared to the full year volume of 72 TWh in 2024.

    Furthermore, EEX will extend maturities for its German Power Base Month Futures and Options contracts to 24 months. This allows for extended trading opportunities to meet existing hedging needs. With close to 5,000 TWh traded so far this year, Germany is the most liquid EEX power derivatives market, with continued growth.

    Guarantees of Origin Futures 
    With continued focus on the energy transition, EEX will also expand its highly successful GO Futures portfolio, with the addition of Wind-Hydro-Solar (WHS) GO Futures, covering both state-supported and nonsupported GOs. 
    The new contracts will allow the trading of GO Futures combining the three most frequently traded renewable sources, bringing an additional hedging opportunity to meet the growing need for such a product. EEX’s extended portfolio will also include the first GO Future contract covering only GOs in the European Union without state support. 
    Traded volume with EEX’s GO Futures has been steadily increasing since the launch last year, with a record monthly level of 6.7 TWh achieved in September 2025. 

    Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
