Norlys Energy Trading Selects Previse Systems as Partner for the Delivery of its Core ETRM Platform
Zug, 27. January 2021: Previse Systems announced today that Norlys Energy Trading has chosen Previse Systems as their partner for the delivery of its Core ETRM platform, which will be based on ChorusLink, Previse Coral and the Coral Ecosystem.
Norlys Energy Trading has been set up by its owners Norlys and Eurowind Energy to achieve significant market synergies between the production and consumption stages of the green value chain. The target is to become a European powerhouse in the field of renewable energy and commercial energy trade.
Norlys Energy Trading decided for Previse Systems to deliver an IT infrastructure that uses the latest available technology, while also proposing an optimal correlation of “buy” and “build”. This allows Norlys Energy Trading to focus its internal development capacities on building the competitive advantage.
Allan Kaufmann, Head of IT Development at Norlys Energy Trading, said:
“Key to successful operations in most companies is the right IT infrastructure. For us the right infrastructure are cloud-based platforms that offer extremely flexible capabilities to deliver the high degree of automation to support the substantial trading volumes that our business requires. As the heart of the system landscape, the ETRM platform must show strong performance, allow easy deployment and be based on an open architecture that enables us to leverage standards as well as engineer and deploy business-differentiated functionality using agile development methods.
After a detailed analysis of available options, we have concluded that the software platform proposed by Previse Systems (ChorusLink, Previse Coral and the Coral Ecosystem) was best suited to fulfil our requirements. An in-depth proof of concept delivered by Previse Systems fully confirmed this conclusion. Previse Systems has specifically shown the competence around the Green Value Chain that we require to support Norlys Energy Trading in being a leader in the green energy transition.
We are certain that our partnership with Previse Systems will be instrumental in securing a competitive advantage for Norlys Energy Trading.”
Asbjørn Hansen, Managing Director at Previse Systems, said:
“At Previse Systems, we are very excited to partner with an ambitious, determined and knowledgeable organization such as Norlys Energy Trading. We share similar views and experiences on growth and adaptability in a very fast-paced environment, and the necessity of modern IT architecture to support this. During the course of our proof of concept, we had the opportunity to work closely with the highly experienced team of Norlys Energy Trading, and we are convinced our collaboration will be prime example of a total that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. I look forward to working with Norlys Energy Trading, and to benefitting from their drive to ensure that our solutions are the best in the market.”

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.”
