It is Nord Pool’s long-held belief that shared order books, in both intraday and day-ahead timeframes, are essential to enable full and fair competition between power exchanges in Europe. In our view, the sharing of order books should be mandatory whenever technically possible.
The recent EC proposals on power market reform, combined with commentary from other power exchanges, have pushed shared order books back in the spotlight.
