Abaxx Broadens European Wind Futures Coverage with Enwex Netherlands, France and Spain Futures Contracts

Launching February 27, 2026, the new contracts extend Abaxx’s weather-indexed wind benchmarks across Europe’s major renewable power systems

Abaxx Technologies, a financial software and market infrastructure company, indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), and producer of the SmarterMarkets Podcast, today announced that Abaxx Exchange will expand its European wind futures offering through the launch of Enwex Netherlands, France and Spain Onshore Wind contracts, available for trading beginning February 27, 2026, pending U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulatory review.

These contracts extend Abaxx’s weather-indexed wind suite to three of Europe’s leading renewable power systems, providing standardized, exchange-cleared tools for managing weather-driven volume risk. In the first half of 2025, below-average wind conditions across large parts of Europe were associated with estimated 10% to 20% drops in revenue at wind farms in nearly half of the analyzed regions — underscoring the need for country-specific benchmarks that allow market participants across the power value chain to hedge renewable-generation exposure.¹

The Netherlands, France and Spain Onshore Wind futures (NWM, FWM and SWM) are euro-denominated, financially settled contracts indexed to the respective Enwex Wind country indices — forecast-based benchmarks that translate wind speed at 100 meters into standardized generation utilization rates, expressed in €/MWh.

“With wind futures in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) already live, launching contracts in the Netherlands, France, and Spain completes a six-market set of wind benchmarks that enable firms to deploy multi-market hedging strategies for weather-driven risk,” said Joe Raia, Chief Commercial Officer of Abaxx Exchange. “The suite creates a connected, cross-border framework for managing renewable-driven volatility across Europe and beyond.”
