EEX turned 20

During the month of June, Nodal Exchange celebrated the 20th birthday of its parent company, EEX. On June 15th, exactly 20 years ago, a local power exchange launched operations in Leipzig, Germany aiming to operate power spot trading. Over the past twenty years, EEX massively increased its product range, trading volume and number of participants.

Today, EEX is part of EEX Group, a Global Commodity Exchange Group with over 700 employees across 17 locations worldwide and an international network of clients and partners. For the third year running, EEX Group is the number one exchange group in power trading and just reached another milestone by becoming the number one exchange in the global freight market.

Nodal Exchange has been a part of the EEX journey since 2017 and could not have been happier to be celebrating EEX Group’s 20-year journey.
