BORN BY THE WORLD´S FIRST POWER EXCHANGE
In 1988, the Institutt for Energiteknikk (IFE) in Halden, Norway, was tasked with research that led to the formation of Nord Pool, the world’s first power exchange. IFE spun-off these activities in 1996, forming Hand-El Skandinavia, which focused its resources and brain power on building enterprise system solutions for power exchanges. Seeing the tremendous upside in a solution that optimizes the profitability of commodity traders and producers, the OM Group acquired the company. When the opportunity presented itself in 2003, the executive team bought out the company and renamed it Navita.

100 WORLDWIDE INSTALLATIONS
Pomax has always been the core focus of Navita. In response to requests for increased commodity, functional, and market coverage, the company has invested more than half a billion NOK in the product suite over the years. Today, Pomax supports trading in electric power, gas, crude oil, coal, emissions, freight, weather derivatives, interest rates, currencies and equities. There are today more than 100 Pomax installations in Europe, North America, Australia and Asia. Customers include Abitibi, Bruce Power, DB Energie, EdF Trading, E.ON, Finotec, GDF SUEZ, IMC Shipping, KS&T, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, Mercuria, Romande Energie, SEMO, Statkraft, and WA-IMO.
