Berlin/Ratingen, 2 June 2021 • Trading Hub Europe GmbH (THE) with offices in Ratingen and Berlin began operations on 1 June 2021. THE came about through the merger of the former market area managers GASPOOL Balancing Services GmbH and NetConnect Germany GmbH & Co.

Up until 1 October 2021, THE will run the existing market areas of GASPOOL and NetConnect Germany, which will trade as the nationwide THE market area from 1 October 2021.
