EPEX SPOT Integration

6B supports energy traders, suppliers, generators, aggregators, flexibility providers, virtual power plants (VPPs), and cross-border participants in integrating EPEX SPOT with upstream data sources and downstream commercial systems. Using APIs, secure file transfers, event-driven pipelines, automated bidding engines, and cloud-native architectures, we enable high-quality, real-time data exchange across all EPEX SPOT market processes. From discovery through deployment and long-term optimisation, we ensure your EPEX SPOT integration is robust, resilient, and built for evolving European market rules.

Understanding EPEX SPOT

EPEX SPOT operates Europe’s leading short-term power markets, offering day-ahead and intraday trading across multiple countries and bidding zones. Participants submit orders, collect market results, and manage cross-border flows via structured interfaces and secure communication channels.

EPEX SPOT provides a range of integration methods including REST APIs, SOAP services, secure SFTP routes, market data feeds, automated bid/offer submission endpoints, and real-time intraday interfaces. It connects seamlessly with optimisation platforms, ETRM/CTRM systems, forecasting tools, portfolio management systems, risk models, and settlement engines, supporting the automation of full-lifecycle trading workflows.

Our EPEX SPOT Integration Process

Each integration begins with a detailed discovery phase, analysing your trading strategy, forecasting workflows, bidding logic, asset constraints, data sources, and regulatory obligations. Whether you require automated day-ahead bidding, real-time intraday order updates, cross-border scheduling, or settlement alignment, we map your needs to EPEX SPOT’s supported interfaces and data formats.

Our architects then design a secure, scalable integration blueprint using EPEX APIs, SFTP transfers, event-driven microservices, ETL pipelines, or hybrid architectures depending on performance, availability, and workflow requirements. Critical factors such as latency, cybersecurity, auditability, resilience, and compliance with market rules are built into the design.

During development, we leverage our reusable integration accelerators — bidding templates, order handlers, validation engines, reconciliation modules, forecasting connectors, and monitoring dashboards — to accelerate delivery and ensure robust engineering. We conduct rigorous testing across functional, performance, latency, and security scenarios to guarantee accurate and consistent market operations.

After validation, we deploy with minimal disruption and support your trading, optimisation, operations, and risk teams through go-live. Once live, we provide comprehensive monitoring, optimisation, enhancement, and lifecycle support to maintain operational efficiency and regulatory compliance as trading strategies and EPEX SPOT rules evolve.

Benefits of EPEX SPOT Integration

Integrating your systems with EPEX SPOT delivers significant commercial, operational, and compliance benefits. Automated order submission and intraday strategy execution reduce manual intervention, minimise errors, and increase trading responsiveness in fast-moving markets.

Real-time market data integration enhances price forecasting, bidding optimisation, and risk visibility. Connecting EPEX SPOT with forecasting and optimisation engines enables constraint-aware bidding, improved asset-backed trading, and more competitive participation across markets.

For operations and finance teams, integration supports accurate settlement calculations, timely reconciliation, improved audit trails, and automated regulatory reporting. Overall, EPEX SPOT integration enhances trading performance, reduces operational overhead, and strengthens decision-making across your portfolio.
