balancing production and consumption of electricity is essential in order to uphold the power​ system and deliver electricity to all consumers. nordic power grids are coupled and nordics have a long history of cooperation for ​balancing. the nordic power system is transforming with more unregulated production like wind and solar and increased cross-border exchange.

markets get a finer granularity and more trade is taking place closer to the operational hour. to meet these changes, the nordic tsos are developing the nordic balancing of tomorrow in the​ joint program nordic balancing model (nbm).

through automation and new markets, we will facilitate the energy transition, enhance the socioeconomic benefits from our common nordic market and have a safe connection to the new european platforms for exchange of balancing power. the implementation of nbm depends upon close cooperation with stakeholders and approvals by national regulatory authorities (nras).​

this short film gives you an explanation about the significant change.​​​​​​​
