Euronext and Nord Pool, the European power exchange, announced the launch of a dedicated Nordic and Baltic power futures market.
This initiative is designed to answer the need expressed by the market to have a long-standing, sustainable market infrastructure committed to developing secure power futures trading in the Nordic and Baltic regions, with a strong Nordic foundation.
Euronext Nord Pool Power Futures will offer trading of cash-settled futures for all industry standard maturities on the Nordic System Price and Electricity Price Area Differential (EPAD) contracts across the Nordics and Baltics. The underlying Nordic System Price and the SDAC Nordic Bidding Zone/Area Prices (spot indices) will be provided by Nord Pool.
The new Euronext Nord Pool Power Futures market will be traded on Euronext’s Optiq® trading platform and cleared by Euronext Clearing.
