EEX Customer Information - EEX Gas Spot Markets: SSL authorised connection to ETS required

    Dear trading participants,

    In the course of the next monthly EEX Gas Spot maintenance on Tuesday, 10 December 2024 (time frame to be confirmed), EEX will enforce additional security measures. From this point onwards, only SSL connections will be permitted.

    Connections of the Joule exchange screen directly to EEX (gastrading.eex.com) must be established via SSL and therefore access through port 11997 will no longer be accepted.

    For members using direct connectivity to EEX Gas Spot, please make sure that port 443 is open and please connect to gastrading.eex.com:443

    Also, please note that connection requires TLS1.2 and above.

    We strongly recommend members connecting directly to EEX (Gas Spot only members) to perform necessary connection tests to ensure a smooth transition. Connections without SSL won’t be possible after the maintenance on 10/12/2024.

    Users connecting to EEX via Trayport’s Joule Direct system don’t need to take further action, as SSL is already enforced.

    Please do not hesitate to contact EEX Gas Market Operations by phone +33 1 73 03 96 24 if you have any further questions.


    Yours sincerely,

    EEX Gas Market Operations
