Nord Pool, the Nordic power exchange that claims to be the only multinational marketplace for electricity, is set to offer its products to Nasdaq OMX’s customers in the second half of the year after its takeover by the transatlantic exchange group completes.

US investors will be able to purchase Nord Pool's electricity and carbon emission contracts via Nasdaq OMX's trading system from the third or fourth quarter, according to a spokesman. The move represents an effort to expand Nord Pool's carbon trading franchise across the Atlantic, where rivals have already made headway.
