The Nordic Energy Regulators (NordREG) has worked towards a common harmonised retail market for some time. The work had been funded by the national NRAs until 2011, when the Nordic Energy Ministers decided to help fund the work for a four-year period.
These funds have been used for hiring a full-time employee who has coordinated the work by NordREG, chaired task forces, managed projects, and drafted documents. The funding has been an important and welcome addition and constitutes a third of the total funding during the last four-year period.
