Nord Pool Wins EPAD Tender
Nord Pool has won a tender from Statnett, the Norwegian energy transmission system operator, to run its EPAD (Electricity Price Area Differentials) futures contract auctions.
The new auctions will see Statnett buying and selling monthly, quarterly and calendar capacity contracts on three borders (NO1/NO2, NO1/NO5, NO3/NO4). They will take place twice a month, with the aim of commencing at the end of 2024.
Commenting on the tender success, Tom Darell, CEO at Nord Pool, said: “We are pleased to be able to provide the unique experience and expertise in auction organization and market design that will allow Statnett to deliver a simple, secure and liquid EPAD auction market for Norway.
Genex and Nord Pool launch Georgian power market
Nord Pool and the Georgian Energy Exchange JSC. (GENEX) have announced the successful launch of Georgia’s first day-ahead and intraday power trading market.
The go-live of the market, which opened and recorded its first trade last month, is the result of a cooperation agreement - with Nord Pool providing GENEX with key power trading systems.
Tom Darell, CEO at Nord Pool, commented: “The team at Nord Pool has been working very closely with our partners at GENEX to help develop a modern, efficient, transparent and secure energy trading capability. We are proud to bring our established heritage, expertise and technology to new markets across Europe.”
Market Data - Don't Forget to Change
Nord Pool no longer provides support for our Market Data API v1, with related endpoints being removed on Tuesday 1 October. Users now need to migrate to the latest version, to avoid any service disruptions.
Our new API v2 consolidates multiple endpoints into one and introduces new API endpoints providing curve data for countries as well as contract statistics or total intraday statistics for a given date and bidding zone. Intraday Delayed and Hub to Hub Capacities APIs are not affected.
If you have any questions about the change, please contact: pds@nordpoolgroup.com.
