Nord Pool consists of the commercial power exchange function, Nord Pool, and the Market Coupling Operator function, Nord Pool European Market Coupling Operator. Starting as solely Norway-based and called Statnett Marked, we pioneered cross-border power trading with a Norwegian-Swedish power exchange in 1996, establishing the Nord Pool name.

Since that world first, we have continued to shape Europe’s coupled power market, providing a trusted and transparent marketplace. We act as a driving force towards a single integrated European power market and as a global thought-leader in the field of physical power trading.

As a cornerstone of European energy cooperation, Nord Pool is playing a crucial role in promoting competition, price transparency, efficient electricity markets and the integration of renewables into the market.

We are grateful to all customers, partners and other stakeholders for their support for Nord Pool’s work over the past 30 years.
