ElectronX™ is a new electricity market designed to enable precision risk management, volatility hedging opportunities, and the monetization of power assets for all energy market participants. As a CFTC-regulated financial exchange, ElectronX will offer derivatives products that capture the intraday price fluctuations of our rapidly changing electrical grid—helping to smooth the financial path of clean energy adoption across the nation.

The U.S. electricity supply chain increasingly relies on renewable and intermittent sources like wind and solar power, while coal and gas are being taken offline. Weather patterns can dramatically affect the output of renewable energy sources, leading to unpredictable pricing. The need for a streamlined exchange that accommodates shifts in energy production and consumption is critical in fostering a sustainable energy future. By providing innovative trading solutions, ElectronX seeks to support the energy transition and facilitate a market where all participants can participate and succeed.
