EEX and EPEX SPOT welcome French Senators in Paris office
Paris, 14 June 2023. The European Power Exchange EPEX SPOT and the European Energy Exchange (EEX) jointly welcomed a delegation from the French Senate to their premises in Paris. The visit on 6 June 2023 included a working meeting to present the functioning of European gas and electricity markets, the recent energy crisis and price volatility as well as the EU Market Reform. The visiting senators are part of the Senate’s finance commission.
Especially in the context of the recent supply crisis in Europe, energy markets have proven to deliver reliable price signals and securing flows across the continent, hence contributing to security of supply. In addition to this, the current proposal by the EU Commission to reform the EU electricity market design raises issues, often of detailed and technical nature, and EEX and EPEX SPOT were pleased to take this opportunity in order to shed light upon these issues.
