no 11/2008 Nord Pool ASA launches new website


(Lysaker, 26 May 2008) Today, Nord Pool ASA launches a new website for Nord Pool ASA, Nord Pool Clearing and Nord Pool Consulting. The new solution will also provide a portal giving easier access to information from the physical market, the financial mark 
The Nord Pool ASA website will provide improved structure and content, search functionality and a new portal site for the Nord Pool group. The new portal solution will separate physical and financial information, where physical market information will be found on http://www.nordpoolspot.com www.nordpoolspot.com  and financial market and clearing information on Nord Pool ASA's new website. However, both physical and financial market information can be accessed from Nord Pool ASA's website via a new shortcut bar, following all of Nord Pool ASA's web pages.   

The existing dynamic price information from power derivatives and carbon will be implemented in the new design. The next step for Nord Pool ASA will be to improve the content and presentation of the financial products information, which will be an ongoing process along with the merger with NASDAQ OMX. However, Nord Pool ASA will continue to use the new web pages after the NASDAQ OMX implementation of the international power and carbon derivatives, clearing and consulting businesses. Nord Pool Spot web will not be affected of the integration process. 
A RSS feed is available for those who want to receive immediate updates when Nord Pool ASA publishes exchange information and press releases. This will require that you have a RSS aggregator installed on your PC. An alternative to the RSS feed is the alert function. Subscribers will then receive Nord Pool ASA exchange information and press releases directly to their e-mail address.

Due to a temporary caching problem on the web server, you may get an error message when opening the top menu pages on Nord Pool ASA. Press cancel on this message and you will be able to continue. The caching issue will be solved as soon as possible. 
Feedback concerning the new web can be sent to information@nordpool.com information@nordpool.com
