Nord Pool EMCO

Nord Pool EMCO was awarded an agreement to act as North Sea Link’s service provider from 2026 following a competitive tender, subject to final regulatory approval. Under the appointment, Nord Pool EMCO operated the interconnector’s market trading arrangements — continuing to run implicit daily day‑ahead auctions (integrated into its Great Britain auctions and as separate auctions in Norway), introducing intraday auctions, and implementing a 30‑minute market time unit for at least the intraday auctions. The agreement secured operational market services for North Sea Link for a maximum period of ten years and aimed to facilitate cross‑border trading between Great Britain and Norway, while allowing access for other power exchanges in Norway.
