Ten years ago - on the day of June the 30th 2000 - the first session took place on the Day-Ahead Market (DAM). Total volume of the transactions, which had been entered into during that session amounted up to 483 MWh, with average price - for the whole day - remaining on the level of 88 zloty/MWh. During the first session that had been carried out on the DAM the trading value amounted to 42 504 zloty. Eight from among twenty registered exchange members participated in the first session on the DAM - five producers and three distributors of electricity.

Entering into first transactions as early as after seven months from the day of registering of the company was incontestable success of European scale. Other power exchanges, which were established at that time, needed about two years for execution of such tasks.

Today's session on the DAM is already 3832 consecutive one. Total volume amounted up to 12 007 MWh, with average price for the whole day remaining at the level of 210,95 zloty/MWh. Twenty from among thirty six entities admitted to activities on the DAM took part in that session.

After ten years we are implementing our strategy for next ten years. One of main goals of the strategy is strengthening of the Day-Ahead Market liquidity. Development of that market, the oldest on the exchange, is aimed at integration with markets of Scandinavia,  Czech Republic, Slovakia and in the future also markets of Germany - the markets neighboring to our Market. The Dam-Ahead Market participants will achieve access to cross-border transmission capacities and energy sources. As early as from November this year the members of POLPX and Scandinavian Nord Pool Spot exchange will be able to trade in electricity on the cross-border direct-current connection with capacity of 600 MW - SwePol ("the Swedish cable"), basing on so-called "Market Coupling" mechanism through the Day-Ahead markets of both exchanges. Next year similar mechanism is to be implemented on the cross-border connection with the Czech Republic.
