ICE Expands IRM 2 VaR Margin Model Into ERCOT Power Futures, Open Interest Up 23%

Intercontinental Exchange extended its IRM 2 Value-at-Risk portfolio margining framework into ERCOT power futures and options, broadening a risk model already applied across more than 1,000 global energy derivatives contracts. ERCOT futures and options open interest rose 23% year-over-year while average daily volume increased 14%, according to ICE. The expansion reflects rapid growth in U.S. electricity derivatives trading, with 2025 marking a record year at 7.8 billion megawatt hours, up 30% annually, and power options volume surging 96% year-over-year.
