IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) was named as the 2007 Energy Exchange of the Year by votes cast for the annual Energy Business Awards.
ICE operates a regulated energy futures exchange, ICE Futures Europe, based in London, as well as an electronic OTC energy marketplace. ICE developed the energy trading technology platform, known as the ICE platform, which hosts regulated futures and options on futures trading as well as trading in cleared and bilateral OTC energy markets for natural gas, electric power, European emissions, and crude and refined oil products.
The Energy Exchange of the Year award is conferred on the exchange that has excelled in taking the exchange market forward to the benefit of the overall energy marketplace.
“We are honoured to receive this award from Energy Business for a second consecutive year. Such recognition motivates us to continue our development of new technology and initiatives focused on enhancing the vital and rapidly growing global energy markets,” says Jeffrey C. Sprecher, chairman and CEO, ICE.
“This has been another successful year with almost 1,000 voters across 10 categories of excellence. As in previous years, the winners have exhibited leadership, innovation and creativity in addressing key challenges in the evolving and dynamic energy marketplace,” adds Jeremy Wilcox of the Energy Partnership and founder of the Energy Business Awards.
