On 28 May 2026 (Trading Day), BSP, EPEX SPOT, HUPX and SEMOpx will decrease the Minimum Clearing Price for the SDAC Day-Ahead Auctions from -500 EUR/MWh to -600 EUR/MWh. This change will also apply to CH60, CH-IDA1 and CH-IDA2.
The Minimum Clearing Price for SIDC Intraday Auctions, as well as the GB Intraday Auctions and GB Day-Ahead Auctions, will remain unchanged.
This adjustment may affect pre-trading limit consumption for Settlement Members. For orders submitted without a limit price (market orders), the minimum price of the respective market area will be applied when calculating trading limit consumption, unless a Realistic Price Range has been specified by the Clearing Member or Settlement Member.
ECC therefore recommends that Clearing Members and Settlement Members active on SDAC markets review their trading limit settings. For Members without configured Realistic Price Ranges, as well as for Direct Clearing Participants, unlimited sell orders will result in an increase in limit consumption of 20%.
Clearing Members using Realistic Price Ranges are encouraged to assess whether the defined ranges remain appropriate in light of this change.
The following auction trading limits are impacted:
- BSP: BSP_AUCTION_EUR
- EPEX: EPEX_AUCTION_EUR
- HUPX: HUPX_AUCTION_EUR
- SEMOpx: SEMOPX_AUCTION_EUR and SEMOPX_AUCTION_GBP
Any necessary updates to financial trading limits can be performed by Clearing Members via ECC’s Member Area.
Further details on trading limits and the related maintenance process are available in the ECC Risk Management Services Manual.
