As of 18 November 2014, Nord Pool Spot will implement a change relating to the handling of Non-Matching in the Elspot market regulations, section 4.3.
Trading Appendix 2a – Elspot market regulations.
Section 4.3 in Appendix 2a - Elspot Market Regulations describes a set of procedures which may be activated in the event of a max or min price situation in one or more market areas. The current wording indicates that the remedies should follow the order in which they are listed in the regulation. However, due to time constraints in the market coupling procedures, an iterative process will not always be possible. Therefore the amendment gives the option to activate more than one remedy at a time, where this is still possible following applicable procedures.
This amendment will take effect from 18 November 2014.
