2025 results at a glance
Power and natural gas - drivers of revenue
Trading volumes on EEX Group’s power markets increased strongly in 2025, with growth recorded across European, North American and Japanese markets, further consolidating the Group’s position as the world’s largest power trading platform.
The natural gas segment also delivered robust growth, driven by rising activity on both European spot and derivatives markets. Increased trading volumes translated into higher revenues across the gas business, underlining the continued importance of the natural gas markets within the overall portfolio.
Market development - focus on local market needs
In 2025, EEX further strengthened its local market development, aligning its offering more closely with the specific needs of regional trading communities.
On one of our fastest growing markets, the Japanese power market, we introduced futures aligned with the local fiscal year, launched a central order book alongside trade registration, and expanded our product portfolio to also cover the Chubu market area.
Trading activity and liquidity in the Nordic power futures markets increased significantly in the second half of the year, driven by targeted incentive programmes and an enhanced local presence, including new offices in Oslo and Stockholm.
We also expanded the natural gas offering to three Baltic-Finnish market areas, providing local participants with access to liquid European gas markets and integrating these regions into EEX’s wider customer network.
Energy transition and decarbonisation
At EEX Group, we remain committed to supporting the energy transition and global decarbonisation through market-based instruments that enable customers to meet their transition goals.
In 2025, this included continued product innovation, notably the transition of the EPEX SPOT Day-Ahead Auction to 15-minute intervals to enhance market flexibility, the expansion of our Guarantees of Origin futures portfolio, and the introduction of futures related to the upcoming EU ETS 2.
Beyond product development, facilitating the energy transition is also reflected in our own operations. EEX Group has set ambitious Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets and made further progress in embedding sustainability across the organisation, including efforts to reduce our own carbon footprint.
