About the market > Import and Export

The Nordic countries have interconnectors to Germany, Poland, Estonia, Russia and the Netherlands. The interconnectors make it possible to transfer power from areas with power surplus and low prices to areas with power deficit and higher prices.

Over the last 10 – 15 years there has been a strong consumption growth in the Nord Pool area. However, new production capacity has not been developed at the same pace, and the Nord Pool area has become a net importer of electricity. Most of the power deficit has been covered by import from Russia.
