EEX At The E-world: Creating Trust – Market Confidence Through Clearing

The appearance of European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) at the leading trade fair of E-World energy & water 2006, which will take place in Essen from 14 until 16 February, has “Creating trust” as its motto. In this context, the topic of clearing and its importance for the handling of credit risks will be at the focus of attention. In particular companies whose scope is restricted on account of tight credit lines will find that clearing opens up new possibilities for them. This also applies to electricity and emission allowances as well as coal, with which EEX is expanding its product range.

EEX will hold a two-hour information seminar on trading in CO₂ emission allowances at the trade fair grounds on 15 February at 02:00 pm.

The experts of the European Energy Exchange will be available at the exhibition stand of the exchange no. 3-328 in hall 3 to answer any questions.

EEX will hold a one-hour press meeting on the topic of clearing in the “Panorama” hall on the exhibition grounds in Essen on 15 February 2006 at 10:00 am.

At the moment, the European Energy Exchange operates a Spot and a Derivatives Market for electricity and EU emission allowances. With currently 134 trading participants from 17 countries, it is the energy exchange in continental Europe with the largest number of trading participants and the biggest turnover. The range of services provided by EEX is complemented by related services such as the integrated clearing of exchange transactions and over-the-counter transactions (OTC clearing).
