Delivery is effected by the submission (and acceptance with no subsequent rejection) of Energy Contract Volume Notifications by an Energy Contract Volume Notification Agent to an Energy Contract Volume Aggregation Agent on behalf of the two delivery parties. A Clearing Member, as defined in the ICE Clear Europe Clearing Rules, with a contract open at cessation of trading for that month must deliver the number of lots open at a rate of 1 MW during each settlement period of the first and each subsequent day of the delivery month.
