⏱️The EU’s day-ahead #ElectricityMarket moved from hourly to 15-minute trading intervals on 30/9/2025 !

Thanks to the change, electricity prices will be reflecting more accurately the expected electricity generation and demand in the electricity system.

🌍 Europe’s electricity markets just got 15 minutes smarter ⚡

As of 30 September 2025 (delivery TODAY, 1 October 2025), the 15-minute Market Time Unit (MTU) has officially spread across all SDAC bidding zones and borders.

That’s right - Europe’s power markets are now operating in quarter-hour mode. ⏱️

And the good news don’t stop there: Greece has jumped on the SIDC 15-minute train. 🇬🇷

This is a huge win for flexibility, efficiency, and the energy transition. Europe is basically getting a productivity upgrade… but for electrons.

👏 Shoutout to all NEMOs and TSOs - you’ve turned teamwork into a continental power move.

📢 We welcome MEP @christian_ehler's request for input with the objective to propose another #energy #omnibus reducing red tape, improving efficiency and lowering regulatory burdens and costs.

⚠️ Current overlaps between EU financial regulation (MiFID, EMIR, MAR) and energy policy (REMIT) create duplication, uncertainty and higher compliance costs for market participants.

🔎 Our response highlights three core issues:

1. Overlap in regulatory reporting requirements
2. Overlap in supervisory arrangements
3. Negative consequences for Europe’s competitiveness

We recommend:

✅ Refining the scope of REMIT to apply only to wholesale energy products not classified as financial instruments under MiFID.
✅ Eliminating duplicate obligations to reduce legal uncertainty, cut costs and strengthen the competitiveness of Europe’s energy markets.

Welcome to Europex, Transmission System Operator - Cyprus! | Καλωσορίσατε στο Europex, TSOC! 🇨🇾⚡🇪🇺

We are delighted to welcome TSOC, the electricity exchange operator of Cyprus, as the newest member of Europex!

📍 Based in Nicosia, TSOC is developing both day-ahead and intraday markets, along with a forward market for electricity, under a net-pool model.

In addition to operating the power market and fulfilling its traditional TSO role - both of which are managed separately - TSOC also serves as the national issuing body for guarantees of origin in Cyprus.

💬 Christian Baer, Secretary General of Europex, commented:
"We warmly welcome TSOC as our newest member. The development of efficient, transparent and secure energy markets in Cyprus will significantly benefit the island’s energy system. In addition, it will support the future operation of interconnectors and facilitate Cyprus’ full physical and market integration into the Internal Electricity Market with all its benefits."
