April 29 (Reuters) - The European Energy Exchange (EEX) saw a significant increase in trading volumes on EEX Group markets during the first quarter of 2026, driven by heightened uncertainty on global energy markets.

"Compared to the first quarter of the previous year, European power spot markets at EPEX SPOT grew by 14%, while European power derivatives markets increased by 29%," EEX said in its annual results presentation on Wednesday.

In 2025, the exchange's revenue rose by one-tenth to 737 million euros ($862 million), mainly driven by higher trading volumes in power and natural gas, its highest-revenue business segments.

For 2026, EEX said it planned to take a number of initiatives, including new short-term power futures in Belgium and Japan and additional maturities in gas derivatives trading.

EEX, which grew out of a Germany-based electricity bourse founded 25 years ago and is part of Deutsche Boerse DB1Gn.DE, said its earnings before interest and taxes rose 17% to 394 million euros last year.

Revenue from European power derivatives rose 9% to 211 million euros in 2025, while European spot power market revenue was up 4% at 106 million euros, the EEX reported.

Revenue from U.S. commodities was up 11% at 46 million euros. Revenue from natural gas derivatives in Europe rose 24% to 38 million euros.
