Why this matters
Shared definitions
A balance responsible party (BRP) is a company that can handle balance responsibility for production and consumption units and for electricity trades. The role gives access to the day-ahead market, the intraday market, and the balancing market, allowing a BRP to operate in both the electricity market and the balancing market. A BRP is financially responsible for imbalances and deviations between planned and actual production, consumption, and trade of power. By agreement with the transmission system operator, a BRP may also deliver ancillary services if technical and legal requirements are met.1)
