Why it matters
The market needs one party that owns the schedule and the deviation. That party is the BRP. Without a BRP, nominations and imbalance settlement have no counterparty.
Producers, suppliers, traders and aggregators either are a BRP or sit inside a BRP’s group. Licensing and contracts decide which.
TradingDesk always asks: who is the BRP for this portfolio? Exposure is meaningless if the responsible party is unclear.
How it works
The BRP nominates the hourly plan for the units in its balancing group. After delivery, metered energy is netted at group level.
The BRP settles the group’s imbalance against the TSO / settlement responsible, under the official rules.
Exact rights, guarantees and registration steps are in ERE/OST texts. Provide those PDFs to attach article-level duties.
