Saving Time and Cost
We are keen to help customers make the most of the services we offer, so that their trading lives are simpler and easier. With that in mind – did you know that the data in CASS, our clearing and settlement solution, is also available through our API? So tasks involving checking or downloading data can easily be automated, with the option to automatically download pdf invoices.
Also, if you handle multiple invoices and payments each day with us, it is very likely that you can reduce your workload and transaction costs as we only require one invoice per delivery country in which you are active.
And if you already subscribe to e-invoices from another service, you can receive Nord Pool invoices as e-invoices too. Give us your electronic invoice ID and any reference you require to appear on the invoice, and your invoices will start popping up in your ERP system. If you are not using e-invoices from anywhere today, we can help you in the right direction.
To take advantage of any of these time and cost-saving solutions, or to suggest others, please get in touch.
20 Twenty Years of Intraday
On 1st March Nord Pool celebrated a landmark anniversary for one of our most important markets, as we reached 20 years since the launch of the world’s first multi-country intraday continuous trading market, Elbas.
It was established in Finland and Sweden by Nord Pool in cooperation with the TSOs Svenska Kraftnät (Sweden) and Fingrid (Finland) and with an initial vison to extend across the entire Nordic region, a geographic ambition that had greatly expanded by the early 2010s.
The multi-country intraday market we launched two decades ago including products, capacity utilisation and matching model, was the blueprint for the implicit continuous trading design that, ten years later, became the EU target model for continuous intraday markets.
In the 20 years our intraday market has been in existence, its importance has increased, thanks in part to the vast geographic expansion of Elbas, and in part to the greater role of renewables in the production mix, with customers seeking to trade ever closer to delivery period. With that in mind we are confident that our pan-European intraday market provides a solid foundation on which to build an improved intraday offering in response to customer feedback.
