Trading volumes on EPEX SPOT power exchange down 1.7% in 2022
FRANKFURT, Jan 23 (Reuters) -Prompt electricity trading volumes on Europe's EPEX SPOT exchange were down 1.7% in 2022 from the previous year's record high, data from the bourse showed on Monday.
EPEX SPOT hosts much of western Europe's cross-border power trading in its day-ahead and intraday markets, where sellers and buyers can trade power shortly before it is fed into networks.
Spot electricity trading turnover on the Paris-based exchange platform fell to 611.2 terawatt hours (TWh) last year from 621.5 TWh in 2021, it said in a statement.
By comparison, Europe's biggest power market, Germany, last year saw 546.5 TWh of actual power usage, according to utility group BDEW.
Power markets in 2022 saw high prices and volatility, mainly caused by gas price spikes after Russia's exports of the fuel dried up in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine.
Energy markets came under severe public scrutiny as financial pressure on businesses and end-consumers grew, forcing utilities and traders to secure extra funds from governments and banks to cover margin call requirements.
Germany, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Austria are the largest markets on the exchange, setting benchmarks in day-ahead trading.
The intraday market - for delivery within a day - set record volumes of 134.6 TWh, up 9.2%, while day-ahead volumes were down 4.3% at 476.5 TWh.
EPEX SPOT said it added 45 new members last year, bringing its total to 334.
