Nord Pool Spot is internationally renowned as running the most developed and well-functioning power market in the world. Market Surveillance plays a key role in maintaining this reputation.

Confidence across the operation

Confidence has to underpin all aspects of the operation: pricing, the transparency of price-relevant information and the operation of the market. Like in other markets, insider trading and market manipulation is not permitted. With this in mind, Market Surveillance monitors trading activities and investigates possible breaches of the market conduct rules. Any possible breaches on the market conduct rules and national  legislation are reported to the authorities.

Focus on price-sensitive information

Essentially, Market Surveillance is looking for matters likely to have an impact on the prices, and whether this information is available to all members. The so-called urgent market messages (UMMs) posted by members on the exchange information system are a key arena for disclosure. Checking the quality of these messages is a central activity for Market Surveillance. Members may consult the disclosure guidelines for urgent market messages for production and consumption and for transmission.
