The European Energy Exchange (EEX) reported exponential increases in both power and gas trading volumes at 48 percent and 68 percent, respectively, in June 2019 compared to June 2018.
Eurex cites this growth to upticks in the German and French power markets, as well as the extension of the EEX to Bulgaria, Serbia and Slovenia.
