CEGH Member Numbers Risen to 319 – a new All-Time-High – in 2023!
- In 2023, CEGH gained the trust of 34 new members and was counting 319 registered companies by the end of the year!
- On the CEGH VTP 575.1 TWh were nominated in 2023.
- 352.9 TWh were traded on the EEX CEGH Market Austria.
- 41.31 TWh were traded on the EEX CEGH Czech Gas Market in 2023.
2023 has been another challenging year for the energy industry. The ongoing Russian aggression and the war in Ukraine are having a major impact on all of our lives and have still big consequences for the gas business. This has been particularly evident in the first half of 2023, where traded and nominated volumes have been lower than in the previous period in 2022.
CEGH, which is committed to decarbonizing the gas industry, has connected the CEGH GreenGas Platform to the German DENA register for biogas certificates and also to the Danish Energinet biomethane register. This means that trading in German and Danish certificates is now also possible on the CEGH GreenGas Platform.
Furthermore, the CEGH GreenHydrogen Index was updated and adapted to the changed market conditions in order to remain a reliable benchmark for the pricing of green hydrogen.
Gottfried Steiner, CEO of CEGH: “In 2023, we successfully supported the standardization of biomethane trading in Europe: the extension of the CEGH GreenGas Platform to the Danish and German biomethane markets and the EFET CEGH standard agreement for trading biomethane certificates were important milestones!
In addition, our natural gas markets remained very robust: the Austrian EEX CEGH spot market underlined its benchmark hub position for the entire CEE region. On the CEGH VTP markets, we achieved again an astonishing member growth of more than 10%. Thank you for the trust and the partnership to all our customers!”

Nominated gas volumes at the CEGH VTP in 2023 reached 575.1 TWh.
