European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC) was established in 2006 as a wholly owned subsidiary of European Energy Exchange AG (EEX). All clearing activities have been transferred to ECC as a central counterparty.

Today, ECC provides clearing and settlement services for six exchanges and is open for further partners. ECC’s exchange partners may also participate in the value chain of the clearing house which is reflected in the current shareholder structure.

EEX AG holds 98.5 percent of the shares in ECC. Powernext SA holds a stake of 1.5 percent and APX-ENDEX holds a nominal share.

ECC has a wholly owned subsidiary in Luxembourg. European Commodity Clearing Luxembourg S.á.r.l. (ECC Lux) started operations in 2009. It steps into the delivery chain as an additional contractual partner in respect to the settlement of deliveries of commodities on the Spot Market which are settled by ECC.
