The European Energy Exchange (EEX) wants to drive forward power trading in Europe and the development of a market for green hydrogen with new products. The aim is to expand its position as the leading global power trading platform and accelerate the energy transition, said EEX CEO Peter Reitz in Leipzig.
Last year, EEX once again achieved record sales and profits with more than 1,000 employees. Total revenue rose by 16 percent to around EUR 670 million, while the adjusted net profit for the year increased by 15 percent to just under EUR 242 million.
The main drivers were a significant increase in trading volumes on the European, North American and Japanese power markets and the expansion of the international customer network, said Reitz.
