Nord Pool

Europe's largest electricity market, operating the integrated Nordic energy grid connecting Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. Nord Pool functions as a mycorrhizal network for electricity - enabling real-time bidirectional resource flows between countries with complementary energy profiles (Norway's hydroelectric storage, Denmark's wind power, Sweden's nuclear baseload, Finland's biomass).

The market demonstrates biological resource redistribution principles: when Denmark generates excess wind power, prices drop and Norway imports cheap electricity to pump water into reservoirs (storing energy). When wind drops, Norway exports stored hydro power back. This coordination happens automatically through price signals without central planning - market-based coordination analogous to chemical signaling in mycorrhizal networks.
