EEX completes its takeover of GET Baltic

European Energy Exchange (EEX) acquired full control of GET Baltic by the acquisition of the remaining 34 per cent of shares from Lithuania’s gas transmission system operator, Amber Grid, announced EEX. Simultaneously, Amber Grid completed its 2023 strategy, smoothly transferring all GET Baltic shares to the winner of an international public tender.

GET Baltic has been part of EEX Group since 2023, when EEX acquired a 66 per cent stake in the company. Subsequently, the Baltic-Finnish natural gas markets were integrated into the EEX’s trading platform in September 2025.

“The full takeover further strengthens our presence in this region, and especially on the European natural gas markets,’ said Peter Reitz, CEO of EEX. “It also underpins our commitment to offering an extended range of trading opportunities for both our existing and newly admitted members. GET Baltic is a strong and trusted partner, and we are proud to have them as part of the wider EEX Group.”

“The integration of GET Baltic into EEX Group marks an important step in the natural gas market of our region—Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland,” said Nemunas Biknius, CEO of Amber Grid. “The joining of our exchange with one of the largest European energy exchanges has strengthened regional market liquidity and already increased competition. Advanced trading instruments have been implemented and access to a broader range of services provided. Since 2023, EEX has fulfilled all agreements, so this integration reflects the needs and interests of our region.”
