Gas SPOT API access via Trayport

Trayport supports third-party access to the EEX Gas Spot market for both “Order Entry”(Write) as well as full “Market data + market depth”(read) access via the Trayport interface/API. 
Subject to terms and conditions, the connectivity options are open to anyone who is compliant and wishes to access the EEX Gas SPOT market via Trayport.

EEX Gas SPOT platform offers two types of API connections allowing for Read/Write access via Trayport.

Direct Connection via own in-house software.

Trayport sets up an agreement directly between the Member and Trayport. Upon completion of TKYC, Trayport will issue a license and the in-house software establishes R/W access via the Trayport API

Initiative: Future Gas SPOT Platform

EEX is currently exploring a potential successor to our existing Gas SPOT platform, with the aim of aligning more closely with the DBAG Group’s inhouse SPOT solutions. This new platform, temporarily named M7G.
M7G will incorporate selected components from our existing M7 Power SPOT solution, adapted and optimized specifically for gas trading.
At present, subject to regulatory approval, it is anticipated that EEX and the Exchange Council will decide in 2026 regarding the adoption of a new platform.
If feedback and integration results are positive, EEX may officially transition to M7G as the new Gas SPOT platform (pending approval).

This project is now backed by a full development team and project teams, preparing the M7G release.

In Q1 2026, EEX plans to invite all vendors and members to begin development and integration with M7G. Participation is voluntary and at vendors’ own discretion.

Subject to Exchange Council and regulatory approval, this collaborative phase will allow stakeholders to evaluate the platform thoroughly, enabling members to make an informed decision by 2027.
