Introduction of Day-ahead
Market Coupling and new
trading opportunities for
BSP Members
With the implementation of implicit allocation of dayahead
cross-border capacities on the last non-coupled
Slovenian electricity border, Slovenian bidding zone is
from 19 th of June on fully coupled and by that integrated
in the single European electricity market.
Based on our experience of launching implicit auctions on
the Slovenian-Italian and Slovenian-Austrian borders, we
can expect that the go-live of fully integrated Slovenian
bidding zone will give the Slovenian spot power market
an additional liquidity boost. Considering the large
volumes of available cross-zonal capacity on Slovenian –
Croatian border this will further strengthen the
robustness of Slovenian electricity price index SIPX. Read

EEX cooperates with BSP Southpool
to launch Slovenian power futures
All market participants will benefit from the standard product setup which enables them to use Slovenian Power Futures
as a tool to hedge against price risks in the local power spot market, benefitting from high-level standards both in terms of
derivatives trading and clearing services.
Anze Predovnik, CEO of BSP Southpool, comments: “Trading volumes on the Slovenian spot market of BSP Southpool have
increased considerably in the past 12 months, reaching a monthly record of 0.8 TWh in March 2018. The listing of power
futures at EEX is a natural step to support this growth trend and to open up the Slovenian power market for additional
trading participants.”
Dr. Tobias Paulun, Chief Strategy Officer of EEX, comments: “Slovenia
has become a liquid hub for cross-border trading with Italy and
Hungary. Therefore, the new products perfectly supplement our
existing offering for European power and will bridge the gap between
those markets.”
