The Supervisory Board supports EPEX SPOT's work on the integration of the European power market and takes into account the increasing number of collaborations of European and international scale.
An Exchange Council composed of market participants has been put in place as an independent body in order to ensure state of the art governance rules. 26 members and 4 permanent guests meeting up quarterly represent adequately the diversity of economic and corporate profiles that exists among the Exchange Members from various sectors. EPEX SPOT holds 100% subsidiaries in Switzerland, EPEX SPOT Schweiz AG.

EPEX SPOT operates day-ahead power markets for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Luxemburg, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland. These Day-Ahead markets are organised through an auction process, matching once a day supply and demand curves and thus fixing prices in an anonymous, yet transparent and secured manner. Members of the Exchange enter their orders for hourly quantities of power into the order book which is closed on 11 am for Switzerland and on 12 pm for all other markets. EPEX SPOT calculates the offer and demand curves and their intersection for each hour of the following day. Results are published from 9.30 am GMT (Great Britain), 11.10 am (Switzerland) and 12.55 pm (all other markets).
The Central-Western European countries, except for Great Britain and Switzerland, and the markets of the Nordic countries are connected through a mechanism called Market Coupling. It links the electricity markets of the member countries by a price coupling solution in order to optimize the use of cross-border capacities between these countries, increasing the gains in social welfare on all markets.
