Another annual NordREG Wholesale and Transmission Developments Seminar, which the Finnish Regulator, Energiavirasto hosted Wednesday 30th of October in Helsinki, has been concluded and provided us with insightful presentations and discussions.
Kicking off the event, Director Antti Paananen, from the Finnish Energy Authority, which holds the current chairmanship of NordREG, extended a warm welcome to the participants and speakers. Antti highlighted NordREG’s mission and vision as an organization, as well as how the market mechanisms need to adapt to an energy system that is becoming increasingly integrated and complex.
The seminar was initiated with an update from the NordREG electricity balancing and capacity task forces on the latest regulatory developments. Speakers from the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate, ACER, Finnish Energy, Green Power Denmark, Fingrid, Energinet, and Fortum continued the seminar by providing insightful perspectives on various topics, which are important in contributing to well-functioning future Nordics markets. Some recurring topics surrounded current and future developments as well as the challenges and opportunities that comes with it, in which the speakers offered both interesting and illuminating insights.
