#EEX20 Thank you! Facts & Figures Happy birthday! Let's celebrate! EEXEEX AG#EEX20 „Thank you for your support, trust and commitment.“ On 15th June 2000, 20 years ago, the first trade was executed on a small power exchange based in Leipzig. This is where everything started, so naturally, it is a good reason to celebrate! Over the past twenty years, we have massively increased our product range, trading volume and number of participants. Today, we operate energy and commodity markets across the globe and serve customers in Europe, Asia and North America. For the third year running, we are the number one exchange group in power trading and aim to establish EEX Group as the preferred global commodity exchange. We just reached another milestone also becoming the number one exchange in the global freight market.

We are part of a global exchange group, alongside eight further companies, with specialist know-how for the markets we operate in. What began as a local electricity exchange in Leipzig has developed rapidly. After the establishment of a liquid spot market, EEX launched power derivatives and entered markets such as emissions and natural gas. The creation of our clearing house ECC was a major milestone for becoming a leading energy exchange in Europe and the nucleus of EEX Group. Today, we are No. 1 in power trading worldwide and No.1 exchange in dry bulk freight trading worldwide.
