This transition means that now more than 200 EEX participants will be allowed to trade PXE products without any additional administrative or technical measures. We expect this step to further strengthen the Central and Eastern European markets and increase liquidity”.
“The migration of PXE products onto EEX brings European power trading even closer together”, adds Peter Reitz, Chief Executive Officer of EEX. “We are happy that all PXE members are ready to continue trading on the EEX platform. Through EEX, they gain access to a bigger network of participants and the full EEX power product suite.
