LONDON, May 28, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- ICIS Heren, the publisher of energy market information, is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Market liquidity and traded volumes have increased significantly in continental European gas markets in recent years, with the Dutch TTF leading the way. Growth has also accelerated since the merger of Germany's trading zones into two major hubs from October 2009. The importance of the German wholesale traded price is growing, not just for domestic businesses but for the European gas industry at large.

Simon Platt, ICIS Commercial Director, said:

Our new office will enable ICIS Heren to build on our foundation of recognition and trust in the market, improve the quality and quantity of reporting on continental European markets and facilitate closer contact with the German energy industry.

ICIS Heren provides extensive coverage of the most widely traded European gas markets, including price assessments, news and in-depth market analysis. With over a decade's experience reporting on European gas markets ICIS Heren is well established as an independent source of essential gas price reference points.
