BSP Regional Energy Exchange - South Pool

BSP Regional Energy Exchange - South Pool, commonly known as BSP SouthPool, is the operator of the organised electricity market in Slovenia. Established on 8 April 2008 by Borzen, the state-owned Slovenian energy market entity, together with Eurex Frankfurt, it organises day-ahead and intraday markets that give its members a liquid, competitive and transparent environment for trading electricity. The company also provides efficient financial settlement of transactions and transparent publication of market results, and it is the designated electricity market operator (IOTEE) for the implementation of single day-ahead and intraday market coupling in the Slovenian bidding zone. BSP operates under the BSP SouthPool brand and trades on both the Slovenian and Serbian markets. Its core products are the day-ahead market, the intraday continuous market with hourly and quarter-hourly products, and the intraday auction. In 2022 the company took a major step toward regional integration with the creation of the ADEX Group, the first regional energy exchange for Central and South-Eastern Europe, officially established on 23 December 2022 in Ljubljana. BSP is one of ADEX Group's three wholly owned subsidiaries, alongside SEEPEX and HUPX. Today more than 120 members trade electricity across the BSP, HUPX and SEEPEX spot markets, and trading volume across ADEX Group's markets was expected to exceed 50 TWh in 2024. The company is led by General Manager Anže Predovnik, who is also Chairman of the Management Board of ADEX Group. BSP has continued to expand its regional footprint, including ADEX's cross-border move to Budapest in October 2024 in cooperation with ELES, EMS, EPEX SPOT and MAVIR, and it remains an active participant in European market integration initiatives such as the Electricity Market Integration Forum and Europex.

BSP Regional Energy Exchange - South Pool was established on 8 April 2008 by Borzen, which was wholly owned by the Slovenian state, and Eurex Frankfurt, the world's largest derivatives exchange. At founding, Borzen held a 34% stake and Eurex held 66%. In 2010 Borzen bought out Eurex's stake, and in the same year ELES entered the company as a half owner. The company operates in the market under the BSP SouthPool brand and trades electricity on the Slovenian and Serbian markets. In 2015 the Government of the Republic of Slovenia appointed the company as the electricity market operator (IOTEE) for the implementation of single day-ahead and intraday market coupling in the trading area of the Republic of Slovenia. Also in 2015 the company received the En.odmev award from Energetika.net and the credit rating house Bisnode. A significant milestone came in 2022 with the creation of the ADEX Group, marking an important step toward regional integration. ADEX Group Ltd., the first regional energy exchange for Central and South-Eastern Europe, was officially established on 23 December 2022 in Ljubljana. Its regional expansion continued in October 2024, when ADEX cross-bordered to Budapest in cooperation with its members ELES, EMS, EPEX SPOT and MAVIR, along with its three wholly owned subsidiaries: BSP, SEEPEX and HUPX. Today more than 120 members trade electricity across the BSP, HUPX and SEEPEX spot markets, and trading volume across ADEX Group's markets was expected to exceed 50 TWh in 2024. BSP organises day-ahead and intraday markets, offering members a liquid, competitive and transparent environment for organised electricity trading, supported by efficient financial settlement of transactions and transparent publication of market results. Its market products include the BSP day-ahead market, the BSP intraday continuous market with quarter-hourly and hourly products, and the BSP intraday auction. The company is led by General Manager Anže Predovnik, who is also Chairman of the Management Board of ADEX Group and a leading expert in Europe's organised electricity market with over 15 years of experience in market operations, price formation and market coupling projects. BSP remains active in European market integration, hosting the Europex General Assembly 2026 at Lake Bled and participating in the Electricity Market Integration Forum 2026 at the European Parliament in Brussels.
