About

BSP Energy Exchange, established on 8 April 2008, plays a central role in shaping the Slovenian electricity market. By organising day-ahead and intraday markets, BSP offers its members a liquid, competitive, and transparent environment for organised electricity trading. This ensures that Slovenian market participants operate within a well-functioning market framework, supported by efficient financial settlement of transactions and the transparent publication of market results.

Building on its strong foundation, BSP reached a significant milestone in 2022 with the creation of the ADEX Group, marking an important step toward regional integration.

ADEX Group Ltd., the first regional energy exchange for Central and South-Eastern Europe, was officially established on 23 December 2022 in Ljubljana. Its regional expansion continued in October 2024, when ADEX cross-bordered to Budapest in cooperation with its members ELES, EMS, EPEX SPOT, and MAVIR, along with its three wholly owned subsidiaries: BSP, SEEPEX, and HUPX.

Today, more than 120 members trade electricity across the BSP, HUPX, and SEEPEX spot markets. Trading volume across ADEX Group’s markets is expected to exceed 50 TWh in 2024, underscoring its growing importance in the regional energy landscape.
