Norlys Energy Trading Goes Live on First Release of Core ETRM Platform
Zug, 12. May 2021: Previse Systems announced today that Norlys Energy Trading has successfully taken the first release of it new Core ETRM platform – based on ChorusLink, Previse Coral and the Coral Ecosystem – into production.
The primary goal of Release 1 is to support the trading of power and natural gas on EEX as well as Nasdaq OMX, with master data provided by ChorusLink and valuations run in Previse Coral. Release 2 will expand coverage to further instruments across additional European markets for gas and power.
Release 1 was delivered entirely remotely. A strong team spirit with a shared focus on the common goal ensured a smooth and timely completion.
About Norlys Energy Trading
Norlys Energy Trading A/S was founded in May 2020 and owned by Norlys Holding A/S and Eurowind Energy A/S The company is based in the Northern part of Denmark in the city of Aalborg.
We are in the process of building a solid and automatized organisation with an efficient platform for energy trading and aim to streamline the handling of renewable energy in both Denmark and the rest of Europe.
We strive to become one of the top European players in electricity and gas trading and to be one of the frontrunners of the green energy transition.
As the energy sector is getting “greener”, more complex than ever, and new solutions emerge everywhere, we have chosen to be an active part of and significant contributor to a sustainable future.
Allan Kaufmann, Head of IT Development at Norlys Energy Trading, said:
“We welcome the first deployment of our entire platform into production and can officially state that Norlys Energy Trading is now an operating trading company. This first go-live will probably be the largest and most important deployment we ever face since all our different systems and components (that together represent our world class trading platform) now are combined and running.
It´s quite amazing to see how much we have achieved working from home! We have established very close collaboration with our various counterparts and especially with Previse Systems, who have proven to be a very flexible and high performing partner.
We have started out strong and now we are increasing the pace. What a fantastic journey!”
Asbjørn Hansen, Managing Director at Previse Systems, said:
“At Previse Systems, we are very proud of this first result of our partnership with Norlys Energy Trading. Thanks to an efficient and close collaboration of the project teams – of course entirely remotely as mandated by the circumstances – we were able to not only fulfil a very demanding project schedule, but even to increase the project scope and deliver more functionality than originally planned.
We were able to demonstrate the strength of our concepts for example in the core success criteria of time to market and performance – the combination of our innovative data management approach with the utilisation of advanced Azure cloud services and the serverless technology provided by Microsoft allows new markets to be onboarded quickly and valuation runtime to be all but independent of the number of trades to be valued.
We are excited to support Norlys Energy Trading on their journey and look forward to a continuous stream of further successful releases over the coming months.”

Plug & Play Connectivity from the enmacc Trading Platform to ChorusLink & Previse Coral
Zug, Munich and Frankfurt, 21. January 2021: Previse Systems, enmacc and Lead Consult have announced today the automatic integration of transactions executed on the enmacc Trading Platform to the ChorusLink Common Trade Repository and Previse Coral ETRM Solution via Lead Consult’s Universal Loader.
The trade import interface is a true “Plug & Play” solution, requiring minimum effort to deploy, operate and extend – new products, new commodities and new market areas can easily be added via an intuitive configuration screen.
Beyond the import of actual trades (either triggered automatically upon trade execution or in bulk at specified times), the interface offers interesting prospects of future functional extensions, e.g.:
- import incoming RFQs (Requests-For-Quote) into Previse Coral as simulated trades before quoting any prices, value imported tenders in Previse Coral, add a margin and send the price quote back to enmacc in an automated process
- automated update of credit limits from Coral to enmacc
Alexander Nikolov, Founder and CEO at Lead Consult, says: “This Plug & Play integration between enmacc, ChorusLink and Previse Coral is an important step forward to the full digitalisation of the energy trading and downstream processes.”
Volker Puck, Managing Director at enmacc, says: “Lead Consult has already supported plenty of our customers for an easy integration of enmacc into their software setup. With the ChorusLink and Previse Coral integration a new and innovative ETRM solution is now also connected with enmacc, providing a lot of automation opportunities and benefits to our mutual customers.”
Asbjørn Hansen, Managing Director at Previse Systems, says: “It is refreshing to collaborate with partners who also focus on high-performance modern technology stacks with clean interfaces and integration capabilities. Connecting enmacc to our solution landscape is another step for us to widen the offering for our customers and automate the trade life cycle.“

European Energy joins ChorusLink for Next Generation Trade Data Management
Zug, 16. October 2020: ChorusLink announced today that European Energy A/S has successfully migrated to the ChorusLink common trade repository.
Using ChorusLink will allow European Energy to:
- streamline the management of all transaction data from its trading operations
- lay a robust foundation for highly performant availability of trade data in a standardized format
- benefit from a centrally maintained repository of commonly used master data
- continuously increase back office automation as its counterparties also join ChorusLink
Jonas Nihøj, Director of Energy Trading & PPA at European Energy, said:
“The main reason for choosing ChorusLink and Previse Coral was to get the solution today which will be the market leader tomorrow, to ensure we have the scalability and performance we need.
As our current production portfolio of 3 TWh per year is set to grow tenfold over the next 5 years, we were faced with either scaling manual processes or investing for the future. We know that our needs today will be vastly different from tomorrow.
With the ChorusLink / Previse solution, we will be in a position to implement technological advancements on-the-go via the App Store, and we will have a competitive advantage in the years to come. Other aspects important to us are to retain ownership of our data and the possibility to easily change App providers, if required, with minimum efforts and costs.
Drawing on the experience of implementing several different ETRM systems, I know it is crucial to have the right partner for the journey and the Previse team have consistently delivered on time and budget. Therefore, I am confident that they will be an enabler for us in the years to come, when we embark on our ambitious growth journey.”

A New Approach to Energy Trade Data Management
Zug, 14 October 2020. ChorusLink AG is excited to announce the formal launch of its business operations!
ChorusLink is a Swiss software company introducing a new paradigm for trade data storage and management in European energy markets.
At ChorusLink, our purpose is to spearhead a change of paradigm for energy trading software. We think ongoing trends in energy markets and technology platforms one step further and follow the vision of a common platform for energy trading data. This conceptual quantum leap facilitates process efficiencies, optimises investment returns on IT spending and fosters future infrastructure adaptability on an unprecedented level.
ChorusLink represents a new approach to recording, storing and managing energy trade data and related information – in a common trade repository. As the use of a shared repository allows each trade to be stored as a single data object, the relevant information is therefore mutually confirmed by definition. This simplifies settlement, auditing, regulatory reporting as well as the other steps in the lifecycle of a transaction necessitating mutual data verification.
