EEX to launch renewable power futures and handysize freight futures

EEX published a customer information notice confirming it will launch new Renewable Power Futures and additional Handysize Freight Futures. No launch date or contract specifications were disclosed in the notice.

The Renewable Power Futures addition extends EEX's existing power derivatives catalogue into the renewables segment, which has seen growing hedging demand as intermittent generation increases across European bidding zones. The Handysize Freight Futures expansion broadens EEX's freight derivatives suite beyond its current contract set.

Full contract details, including delivery periods, lot sizes, and eligible trading members, are expected in a follow-up specification notice from EEX. Traders should monitor the EEX website directly for listing confirmation.
