Happy New Year!

Nodal introduced 23 new solar peak futures contracts and many new environmental contracts in 2023 including first-of-their-kind contracts in renewable energy certificates, carbon emissions allowances and voluntary carbon offsets, bringing our total number of environmental products offered to over 120, the largest suite of environmental products offered on any exchange.

Nodal also launched Market Data services in 2023 across all asset classes.

Nodal Exchange was named 2023 Commodity Exchange of the Year by Energy Risk magazine and Nodal Clear won Clearing House of the Year at FOW International Awards 2023.

We want to express our gratitude for your ongoing support and extend our best wishes for a prosperous New Year.
