    Furthermore, we would like to inform you about special aspects of the delivery process, fee, and invoicing:

    Delivery Process

    Sellers can transfer their GOs from 10 days before the auction (at 16:00 CET) until 2 days before the auction (at 16:00 CET) from their delivery account to the EPEX SPOT account (35XEPEXXXI) at the French GO Registry.

    • When GOs have not been sold at the auction, they will be transferred back after the auction on D+1 to the participant’s delivery account. Thus, the unsold GOs are available latest on D+2 on the seller´s delivery account.
    • When GOs have been sold at the auction, they will be transferred from the ECC account at the French GO Registry (35XECCXXXY) to the delivery account of the buyer during the following business day (D+1). Thus, the sold GOs are available latest on D+2 on the buyer's delivery account.

    The delivery of the GOs will occur via EEX as the operator of the French GO registry. For further details on the delivery process please contact go-admission@eex.com

    Fees and Invoicing – Fee Waiver

    After launching the product ECC will apply a fee waiver until 31 December 2022. Meaning, that for the participation in the GO market, only a reduced clearing fee of 0.25 ct/MWh will be charged by ECC to compensate the regulated French registry fees charged to ECC and no membership fees will be charged in 2022.

    Fees applicable as of 2023 will be published in the ECC Price List.

    The invoicing of the commodity amount will be included in ECC’s standard invoicing procedure.
