Nord Pool welcomes Croatia-Slovenia day-ahead coupling

Nord Pool, Europe’s leading power market, has helped extend the reach of power market coupling across Europe, with the successful coupling of Croatia and Slovenia for day-ahead trading.

Nord Pool will manage capacities as well as validating and sending results to Croatian transmission service operator HOPS, extending links with Croatian power exchange CROPEX, for which Nord Pool already provides power market services.

CROPEX will now have its markets coupled to the rest of Europe, conducting cross-clearing with BSP, the Slovenian power exchange, while CROPEX customers will have access to block orders for the first time.

Commenting on the new cross-border day-ahead coupling Kari Ekelund Thørud, CEO at Nord Pool, said: «This is a very positive first step towards establishing an integrated power trading market across the Balkan region. We congratulate our partners in Croatia and Slovenia on achieving this milestone and look forward to helping them develop the market for the future.»
