Balancing Group
A balancing group is the set of metering points and positions whose schedules and actuals are netted under one BRP.

Why it matters
Imbalance is not calculated asset by asset if the rules net a group. The group is the settlement perimeter.
Putting a solar plant, a load and a battery in one group changes the net deviation the BRP pays. That is why aggregation and BRP contracts matter together.
Wrong group assignment is an operational error: the desk will forecast a perimeter that settlement does not use.
How it works
Metering points are registered to a balancing group. Nominations are sent for that group (or for portfolios mapped into it).
After the interval, actuals are summed and compared with the group schedule. The BRP faces the net imbalance.
How groups are opened, transferred or split is an official procedure. Attach the rule PDF before quoting those steps.

TradingDesk context
TradingDesk portfolios should match the balancing group the BRP actually settles. If they diverge, forecast-versus-actual on the desk will not match the invoice.
