As informed in Exchange Information No. 41/2013 and No. 42/2013 the Elspot price calculation failed for delivery date Monday 5 August 2013 and as a consequence Nord Pool Spot restricted the use of Flexible Hourly Offers to one (1) offer per Member per day from Wednesday 7 August (for delivery day Thursday 8 August 2013) until further notice.
Accordingly, Nord Pool Spot adjusts the Product Specifications (Trading Rules Appendix 3) Article 2 to reflect this.
The existing product specification for Flexible Hourly Offers (Trading Rules Appendix 3 Article 2):
Maximum amount of Flexible Hourly Offers: 5 per Trading Portfolio
The new product specification for Flexible Hourly Offers (Trading Rules Appendix 3 Article 2):
Maximum amount of Flexible Hourly Offers: One (1) Offer per Member per day (Client Representatives one (1) Offer per Client per day)
The adjustments are approved by the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate.
The updated Product Specifications.
Nord Pool Spot is still in the process of investigating all aspects of the incident. Our members and market will be kept informed throughout this process. Our highest priority is to secure a credible price and Nord Pool Spot regrets the technical problems experienced.
