| Updata integrates PXE into Updata Data Feed
Updata is delighted to announce the integration of PXE, Power Exchange in Central and Eastern Europe, into its Updata Professional platform.
PXE opens up the Central Eastern European market for Updata's clients giving them increased visibility within that region which has recently seen a sharp increase in Technical Trading due to higher trading volumes flowing though the Czech, Slovak and Hungarian power markets. PXE was established in 2007 and it facilitates the trading of electricity, with the place of delivery in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. It is the largest market in futures contracts for electricity with physical and financial settlement in Central and Eastern Europe. PXE now has 44 trading participants in 11 European countries.
With this integration, Updata clients can now benefit from applying the same analysis tools to PXE data as with other European markets; offering correlation and integration with other energy venues. This also compliments the delivery of OTC data, giving users a complete summary of the CEE market.
Sundeep Athwal, Senior Sales Manager for the CEE region, commented: "Updata are happy to show our continued support for the development of the CEE region. We are dedicated to having a strong presence in the market, both to our clients and new participants, offering innovative methods of data consolidation and delivery including our new mobile phone service for the energy markets."
