Serbia's day-ahead Southeast European Power Exchange,
SEEPEX, is targeting a launch in November-December this year, the press office
of European Power Exchange, Epex Spot, told SeeNews in an email on
Thursday.
Epex Spot is developing the project in partnership with Serbian
state-owned electricity grid operator EMS.
EMS director Nikola Petrovic
had earlier told SeeNews the power exchange was set to become operational by the
end of the third quarter this year.
In March 2014, Petrovic said
Paris-based Epex Spot, an exchange for power spot trading in Germany, France,
Austria and Switzerland, will have a 25% share in SEEPEX with EMS holding the
remainder.
Elsewhere in the region, day-ahead exchanges are set to launch
this year also in Croatia and Bulgaria. Both projects involve Norwegian-based
Nord Pool Spot which has teamed up with CROPEX in Croatia and IBEX in Bulgaria.
