<div id="readability-page-1" class="page">TORONTO, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abaxx Technologies Inc. ( ABXXF ) (“Abaxx ( ABXXF )” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), and producer of the SmarterMarkets™ Podcast, today announced that Abaxx Exchange will expand its weather-indexed product suite with the launch of Enwex Germany Solar (GSM) futures, available for trading on April 23, 2026. For the first time in 2025, solar power produced more electricity in Germany than lignite, becoming the second-largest source in the country’s net public electricity generation¹. As weather-driven swings in irradiance increasingly affect realized output and portfolio risk for solar-heavy books, Enwex Germany Solar futures are designed to provide an exchange-cleared benchmark for hedging deviations from expected generation and reducing solar-specific basis exposure. “Solar exposure has traditionally been managed through a mix of bilateral weather trades and broader power positions,” said Joe Raia, Chief Commercial Officer of Abaxx Exchange. “This contract brings solar utilization into a centralized, exchange-cleared market, giving market participants a forward curve to trade and improving arbitrage and cross-hedging opportunities, while also giving lenders greater confidence in the stability of generation-linked revenues as Germany continues to scale solar capacity.” “Germany’s rapid solar build-out makes it a natural setting for our first dedicated photovoltaic benchmark,” said Robin Girmes, Founder and CEO of Energy Weather and Enwex. “Our indices translate meteorological variables into standardized utilization metrics, and listing the Germany Solar Index with Abaxx ( ABXXF ) brings that framework into a regulated futures market built for renewable-generation risk.” Max Amir Dieringer, CEO of Citadel FlexPower, a leading European power trader, added, “Volumetric solar risk is becoming increasingly relevant in the European and especially German market. As we originate an ever- increasing number of tolling structures for co-located solar and battery storage assets, managing our solar production risk effectively has become inevitable. FlexPower welcomes the creation of a lit and tradeable market for volumetric solar risk.” Enwex Germany Solar (GSM) futures will be euro-denominated, financially settled and indexed to Enwex Solar Germany, a forecast-based index of total incoming solar radiation translated into standardized generation utilization rates, expressed in €/MWh.
