In 1988, the Institutt for Energiteknikk (IFE) in Halden, Norway, was tasked with research that led to the formation of Nordpool, 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 completed a management buyout of the company and named it Navita.
