Key achievements
Power
- The power spot market increased by 15% to 53.7 TWh. This was largely driven by the solid performance on the Intraday market which grew by 44% compared to 2019.
- The rise in the European power derivatives markets was mainly due to the excellent performance in French (+50%) and Spanish Futures (+21%) as well as Hungary (+123%) which continues to establish itself as the new liquidity hub in the CEE region. Furthermore, with 410 GWh traded in February, EEX achieved a new monthly record in GB Futures

- Volumes of 109.7 TWh were traded on the gas derivatives segment which increased by 78% compared to February 2019. This was mainly driven by the performance of the CEGH and TTF hubs, which reported 8.3 TWh (+125% y-o-y) and 91.4 TWh (+ 91% y-o-y) respectively
