Building Markets Together
2024 was about continued growth and expansion at the EEX Group.
2024 was a great year for the EEX Group – with continued growth, expansion, and remarkable increases in trading volumes.
Transparency, clearing, and exchange-based trading continued to attract new participants, including new customer groups, expanding our global network to over 950 participants.
In 2024, we again delivered on our commitment to developing energy and commodity markets across the world. We saw successful launches of carefully selected series of new contracts across our asset classes, addressing the needs of this growing trading community.

Market developments
The 2024 energy markets saw increased confidence and stability compared to the previous, more volatile years.
The importance of transparency, clearing, and exchange-based trading continues to be appreciated by a growing number of market participants, including new customer groups. Digitalisation also plays a key role in the development of traded volumes.
On the power derivatives markets in particular, the remarkable volume growth from previous years continued on the EEX core as well as smaller markets, while our natural gas markets remained at the elevated level in terms of volumes, as seen over the past few years. Further growth was registered across the majority of EEX Group’s product portfolio, including the particularly positive welcome we have seen towards our award-winning Guarantees of Origin Futures.
Energy transition and decarbonisation
Facilitating the energy transition remained a key ambition for EEX Group, driven primarily through market-based instruments, in order to enable decarbonisation as well as acceleration of renewables integration.
In 2024, we launched both new short-term and long-term power contracts to cover the whole curve of price hedging needs for the renewables community, as well as participated in numerous initiatives for the advancement of carbon, guarantees of origin / registry and hydrogen markets.
