The default was notified on 11 September 2018 and the position was closed in a closed auction on 12 September. The member traded Nordic and German power spread positions. The regulator describes it as a unique and serious event. No significance statistic applies to any of these figures.

A single member failed to meet a margin call on Nordic power derivatives in September 2018. Closing the position cost 114 million euro, which exhausted the member's margin, the clearing house's own capital, and two thirds of every other member's default fund contribution.
