Everyone at Nord Pool is pleased that (subject to regulatory approval) we will continue our relationship with National Grid and Statnett, operators of the North Sea Link (NSL) interconnector, to provide power auction services to the interconnector.
Tom Darell, Nord Pool CEO, said: "Nord Pool is proud to continue to have a part in this important market coupling project and delighted to be playing a key role in delivering its benefits to the GB and Norway power markets, with the important implications that has for security of supply on both sides of the North Sea.
“We greatly appreciate the trust placed in us by the North Sea Link partners and will continue to work very hard to ensure the delivery of efficient trading services for NSL."
