The European Power Exchange (EPEX) is a spot market for electricity. The data consists of spots contracts for the delivery of very short-term electricity contracts. EPEX serves over 400 companies and is the largest trading community in Europe. The EPEX markets are instrumental in integrating intermittent renewable energy sources providing participants to balance positions closer to real-time and thus manage unforeseen events.
Level 1 and Level 2 intraday continuous market data is available as well as the day-ahead auction market data.
Data is available through ICE Connect Desktop for live monitoring and analytics, ICE XL for spreadsheet integration, and APIs for seamless integration into enterprise systems and automated processes.

Key Features
The ICE Global Network offers high quality access to the European Power Exchange (EPEX) native data feed and execution services through an ultra-secure, highly resilient network.
For clients looking to access normalized data the ICE Consolidated Feed provides functionality that allows for seamless application programming, using proprietary symbology that is easy to consume, human-readable and based on exchange tickers. Reference data fields are presented in a consistent format with popular fields such as Instrument Types, Marketplace Codes and Instrument Names available in both ICE proprietary and native exchange format. Additional third-party identifiers, such as CUSIP & ISIN are also available (note that some may require separate licensing).
Covering both individual instrument status (normal/halted/suspended) and market phase (auction/continuous/etc.), the ICE Consolidated Feed presents status as a globally consistent set of values, while also maintaining a separate set of fields with the native exchange presentation. Including both native exchange timestamps in their original time zone and granularity, and ICE system timestamps in UTC, gives clients flexibility and choice, that carries through to the tick-by-tick files provided by ICE Consolidated History.
- Depth: The data set offers Level 2 market depth, providing visibility into the order book beyond the best bid and ask prices.
- Quality of service: This data set ensures high-quality, real-time market data with minimal latency and maximum uptime.
