General Index Extends European Natural Gas Coverage into Eastern Europe with CZ VTP and SK VTP Launch

General Index has extended its European natural gas benchmark coverage into Eastern Europe with the launch of two new Day-Ahead indices: the Czech Virtual Trading Point (CZ VTP) and the Slovak Virtual Trading Point (SK VTP).

The addition takes our European hub coverage to nine, complementing an existing suite that spans TTF, THE, NBP, PEG, ZTP, CEGH, and ETF. The new benchmarks give traders, analysts, and risk managers a transaction-based view of price formation at two markets that have historically been underserved by independent price data.

Since 2022, supply rerouting across Central and Eastern Europe has driven greater activity at regional hubs, increasing the need for independent price benchmarks that reflect where gas is actually trading. As with all GX indices, both benchmarks are derived solely from executed transactions. Further hub expansions and forward curves are planned for release in the coming months.
