Today, the European Energy Exchange (EEX) launched its new transparency site. At www.eex-transparency.com, visitors can gain access to comprehensive fundamental data and relevant information for wholesale energy trading.
The website is a further development of the existing platform “Transparency in Energy Market” and contains information about capacity, utilization and availability of facilities for the production of electricity as well as new information on the storage of electricity
and natural gas consumption.
In the framework of the “Regulation on Market Integrity and Transparency” (REMIT), market participants have to publish all relevant information for the pricing in wholesale energy trading in an effective and timely manner. “We have comprehensively devised our transparency website, which gives our market participants the opportunity to implement all publication requirements of REMIT on this platform from now on", says Peter Reitz, CEO of EEX.
In addition to the new message types due to the REMIT Regulation, EEX has also revised the existing range of transparency data. Now, power plant outages are published immediately, stating company, plant and unit for those companies that have consented to this disclosure. Additionally, companies can request EEX to forward power production data according to the European Transparency Regulation to ENTSO-E.
Almost all data from the old site is also available on the new platform. In addition, the publication of inside information concerning companies and those that cannot be represented by a numerical value is possible via an ad-hoc ticker.
On the new transparency website, electricity production is displayed for Germany, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands as well as the market area Germany/Austria. Furthermore, the power storage for Germany as well as the natural gas consumption for Austria and Germany are mapped.
Due to "responsive design" the transparency website automatically adjusts to all mobile devices. This means that all content can be accessed from any location, for example via smartphone or tablet PC. The download of an app is not necessary.
