Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Brussels, London, Paris, Vienna, 24 March 2025. The European Power Exchange EPEX SPOT announces that Ralph Danielski, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EPEX SPOT, will not renew his mandate as CEO of EPEX SPOT coming to an end on 6 April 2025, citing personal reasons as driver behind this decision.
Peter Reitz, Chairperson of the EPEX SPOT Supervisory Board, comments: ”We regret this decision, but we can fully understand the background of his choice. The Supervisory Board warmly thanks Ralph for his six years of service. In addition to leading the company during the intense times of the energy price crisis in 2022, he further cemented EPEX SPOT’s position as European service-leader which witnessed significant growth in terms of traded volumes and customer base. In addition to this, innovative initiatives and product diversification were boosted under his leadership. We wish Ralph all the best for his future, both personally and professionally.”
As transitional setup, Jean-François Conil-Lacoste, former CEO and current Supervisory Board member of EPEX SPOT, will join Jonas Törnquist (Chief Operating Officer) on the Management Board of the Exchange.
