Nordel's power balance estimate for the winter period published

Nordel has published the power balance for the winter period of 2008-2009. The estimate corresponds to a temperature with alikelihood to occur once in 10 years. The shared Nordic power balance is expected to show a narrow surplus at peak demand without imports from the neighbouring regions to the Nordic area. The power balances in Finland, Sweden and Eastern Denmark are in deficit without imports.

The power balance is available on Nordel's website at www.nordel.org.
