Nordic power market competition heats up

With Nord Pool set to offer electricity futures contracts from March, competition for liquidity on the Nordic power curve will heat up this year. Who will come out on top? Also, the European Commission, along with the energy regulators, wants to create a new, centralised unit to operate day-ahead market coupling in the EU. Whilst market participants agree with the need for increased regulatory oversight, there is concern from exchange bosses that this would promote a single point of failure and hamper healthy competition. Would this proposal fix the part of the system that isn't broken? In this episode, Richard sits down with the CEOs of Nord Pool and EEX in Essen to discuss this, as well as the issues concerning liquidity in certain markets in Europe, and how the market needs to adapt to aggregators and the flexibility that the investment into renewables demands. Host: Richard Sverrisson - Editor-in-Chief, Montel News Guests: Tom Darrell - CEO, Nord Pool Peter Reitz - CEO, EEX Contributor: Julia Demirdag - Germany Reporter, Montel News Editor: Oscar Birk Producer: Sarah Knowles
