Balancing responsibility
Balancing responsibility is the duty to keep a schedule and to settle the difference versus measured energy. In Albania that duty sits with a BRP and a balancing group.

Why it matters
Someone has to own the deviation. Balancing responsibility is that ownership. Without it, ALPEX trades and asset forecasts have no settlement counterparty.
Producers, suppliers, traders and aggregators either take the role themselves or contract into a BRP’s group. The license and the balancing-group contract decide which. The desk cannot invent the assignment.
This is also why a prosumer and a professional portfolio look different on TradingDesk: the legal duty is the same shape, the perimeter is not.
How it works
Official source: the Electricity Balancing Rules and the BRP / group registration texts. TradingDesk explanation: responsibility is a chain, not a slogan.
The responsible party nominates a schedule for the group. The TSO runs the system in real time under the balancing rules. After the interval, meters are compared with the schedule. The responsible party settles the imbalance.
A participant that only owns assets still sits inside this chain through its BRP. Aggregation moves many sites into one duty. It does not delete the duty.
Exact guarantees, default processes and transfer of responsibility are official. Provide the PDF before this page lists those steps.

The Balancing view on TradingDesk is this duty in numbers. The Wiki page is the Albanian assignment: who is responsible, for which points, under which rules.
