EFT Group, the leading energy trading company in the south-east and central Europe, is among the major participants in one of the largest electricity exchanges in Europe, EXAA in Vienna.

“In the first half of 2007, EFT sold over 200 GWH of electricity on EXAA, and in the month of July alone it accounted for as much as 7.5% of the total exchange turnover. This result places EFT in the top 5 participants in EXAA” Laurenz Wagner has stated on behalf of the exchange in Vienna.

One of the Group’s executive directors, Urs Jakob, has expressed his satisfaction with these results. “To find ourselves at the very top of EXAA, among the big players like APT and RWE, is a huge result for EFT and is a confirmation not only of our progress, but also of the development of the entire electricity market in south-east Europe.  As the deregulation process continues, and with the realisation of investments which are underway in the region, it is very likely that the energy sector in south-east Europe will see further growth and competitiveness in the years ahead”, Jakob said.
