Summary
Effective 19 October 2026, ECC extends the Direct Clearing Participant (DCP) model to British National Balancing Point (NBP) Natural Gas Spot contracts. Following the extension of the DCP model to continental European natural gas spot markets on 3 September 2026 (Clearing Circular No. 62/2026), DCPs can now trade and clear GBP-denominated EEX NBP Natural Gas Spot contracts. This enables market participants to access the UK NBP market under the DCP membership structure without requiring a Clearing Member relationship.
