Europex- Association of European Energy Exchanges

What Europex- Association of European Energy Exchanges does

Europex – Association of European Energy Exchanges is a Brussels-headquartered non-profit association (asbl/vzw under Belgian law, CBE 0478.000.459, EU Transparency Register 50679663522-75) representing 33 European energy exchanges operating in electricity, natural gas, and environmental markets. Founded around 2002, the association serves as the unified voice of European energy exchanges in policy dialogue with EU institutions including the European Commission, ACER, ENTSO-E, and IOSCO. Its membership spans EU member states, candidate countries, and Energy Community states including Ukraine, Georgia, Albania, Montenegro, and Türkiye, giving it near-comprehensive coverage of formal European energy market infrastructure.

Europex delivers value through five Working Groups (Power Markets, Gas Markets, Environmental Markets, Financial Markets, REMIT) and four Task Forces (Balancing, Digital and Cybersecurity, Energy Community and Third Countries, Forward Capacity Allocation), plus structured support for the All-NEMO Committee that coordinates day-ahead and intraday market coupling across Europe. Its outputs are policy artifacts — position papers, consultation responses, and reports — published on its website and submitted directly to EU and international regulators. The association also maintains a curated EU legislation resource on wholesale energy trading and a member directory of European exchanges including EEX, EPEX Spot, Nord Pool, ICE, OMIE, TGE, GME, HUPX, and UEEX.

The organization's business model is membership-fee based and individually negotiated with each member exchange; no public pricing or revenue disclosures are available. Europex operates with 1-10 staff at its Rue Archimède 44, 1000 Brussels headquarters, with additional presence in Dublin and Belfast tied to SEMOpx Single Electricity Market operations. It is governed by a General Assembly and Board drawn from its member exchanges and holds no external investors, funding rounds, or parent company.

Broad incumbents

• Eurogas: Eurogas is the European association representing the natural gas industry, directly comparable to Europex as a Brussels-based energy trade association engaging EU policymakers, but covering the full gas value chain rather than specifically gas exchanges and trading platforms.
• EURELECTRIC: EURELECTRIC is the European electricity industry association representing the broader power sector (utilities, generators, TSOs), comparable to Europex as a Brussels-based electricity sector advocacy body, but covering the full electricity value chain rather than specifically the exchange/market operator segment.

Direct peers

• European Federation of Energy Traders (EFET): EFET is the European trade association for energy trading companies and counterparties, directly comparable to Europex as both are membership-based Brussels-based associations engaging EU policymakers on European energy market design, REMIT, and market integrity from adjacent sides of the trading ecosystem.
• World Federation of Exchanges (WFE): WFE is the global industry association for exchanges and clearinghouses, directly comparable as the broader global counterpart to Europex's European energy exchange focus, with overlapping membership (e.g., EEX, ICE) and similar policy advocacy functions on market structure and regulation.
• FIA - Futures Industry Association: FIA is the leading global trade organization for the futures, options, and centrally cleared derivatives markets, directly comparable to Europex in representing exchange and clearing infrastructure members and engaging with regulators on derivatives market policy, with member firms including many of the same exchanges that sit on Europex's roster.

Emerging players

• ISDA - International Swaps and Derivatives Association: ISDA is the global trade association for OTC derivatives market participants, comparable to Europex in coordinating industry positions on derivatives market regulation (including EMIR and cross-border trading rules), but focused on OTC rather than exchange-traded products and on a global rather than European footprint.
• AFME - Association for Financial Markets in Europe: AFME is the European trade association for wholesale financial markets, comparable to Europex as a Brussels-based association advocating on European financial market regulation, but focused on banking and capital markets rather than specifically energy exchanges and commodities trading.

Others
