6B works with energy traders, suppliers, generators, aggregators, flexibility providers, asset optimisers, and multi-market participants to integrate Nord Pool with upstream data and downstream commercial systems. Using APIs, secure file exchange, event-driven pipelines, scheduling interfaces, and cloud-native architectures, we enable real-time, compliant data exchange across all Nord Pool market processes. From discovery through deployment and ongoing optimisation, we ensure your Nord Pool integration is reliable, complete, and built for rapid market evolution.

Understanding Nord Pool

Nord Pool operates Europe’s leading power trading markets, offering day-ahead, intraday, and balancing services across multiple bidding zones and countries. Market participants submit bids, schedules, forecasts, financial data, and operational information through structured interfaces and secure data channels.

Nord Pool offers REST APIs, file-based data exchange, secure SFTP routes, and event-driven data feeds to support bidding, order management, market results retrieval, transparency data, and trade reporting. It integrates with optimisation tools, ETRM/CTRM systems, forecasting platforms, risk engines, and settlement systems to streamline end-to-end trading and operational workflows.

Our Nord Pool Integration Process

We begin with a detailed discovery phase, analysing your trading strategy, asset portfolio, bidding workflows, forecasting processes, risk requirements, and operational constraints. Whether you need automated order submission, real-time intraday updates, generation forecasting integration, cross-border scheduling, or settlement automation, we map your objectives to Nord Pool’s supported interfaces and data structures.

Our architects design a secure, scalable integration blueprint using Nord Pool APIs, SFTP transfers, message queues, microservices, ETL pipelines, or hybrid automation patterns depending on your system landscape and performance requirements. We incorporate essential non-functional considerations such as latency, resilience, cybersecurity, auditability, and regulatory compliance.

During development, we leverage reusable integration modules — bid creation templates, schedule handlers, validation frameworks, analytics connectors, and monitoring dashboards — to accelerate delivery and improve reliability. All integrations undergo rigorous functional, performance, and security testing to ensure resilience in fast-moving market conditions.

Once validated, we deploy your Nord Pool integration with minimal operational disruption, working closely with trading, optimisation, operations, and risk teams. After go-live, we provide continuous monitoring, optimisation, and lifecycle support to maintain efficiency and compliance as market rules and trading strategies evolve.

Benefits of Nord Pool Integration

Integrating your systems with Nord Pool offers significant commercial, operational, and compliance benefits. Automated bid submission and order management reduce manual effort, minimise errors, and improve trading responsiveness in day-ahead and intraday markets.

Real-time integration enhances visibility of schedules, market prices, available capacity, and portfolio performance. Connecting Nord Pool with forecasting and optimisation tools improves bidding accuracy, risk-adjusted positioning, and asset-backed trading strategies.

For operations and compliance teams, integration supports accurate settlement workflows, regulatory reporting, audit trails, and cross-market reconciliation. Overall, Nord Pool integration increases trading performance, reduces operational overhead, and strengthens strategic decision-making.
