Nord Pool Welcomes Latest Extension of 15-Minute Intraday Trading

Nord Pool, the European power market, has welcomed the successful launch of the 15-minute market time unit (MTU) in the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) across Norway’s internal bidding zones, with optimisation of the Nordic power interconnectors.

The changes take effect from Tuesday 18 March and Wednesday 19 March, for intraday auctions and intraday continuous products, respectively.

The transition from a 60-minute to a 15-minute MTU will enable Nord Pool customers to benefit from more efficient and effective matching of intraday trading supply and demand. First trading day for Intraday Auctions (IDAs) in Norway and Poland using the new MTU was 18 March, for delivery 19 March. For the intraday continuous market in Norway, 15-minute MTU products became available on Wednesday 19 March and will be in addition to established 60-minute products.

Tom Darell, CEO at Nord Pool, a Euronext company, said: “This is an important change for our Nordic members. We have been working closely with them to ensure they can take full advantage of the opportunities which shorter trading periods provide.

“The new 15-minute MTU is particularly valuable in accommodating the increasing amount of renewable power in the trading mix, which makes an important contribution to the green transition we are seeing in the energy sector.”

To take advantage of the new trading opportunities presented by the introduction of the 15-minute MTU, please contact your local market manager.

Further information on the transition to 15-minute MTU can be found here.
