Securing balance responsible party (BRP)status is essential for trading physical energy within a grid network. AtTime2Market, we streamline this process by managing the complex administrative tasks involved, allowing you to focus on your core trading activities.

To understand where BRP status fits in the market access process, please find an overview here →

What is a balance responsible party (BRP)?

A BRP is a market participant that is responsible for maintaining the balance between the energy they withdraw from the grid and the energy they inject into it. This involves accurate forecasting and real-time adjustments to prevent imbalances.

As a balance responsible party, you are financially responsible for any imbalances you cause.

What is a TSO?

A transmission system operator (TSO) is a counterparty, ensure the reliable transmission of power or natural gas overhigh-voltage power lines and pipeline networks. TSOs are responsible for ensuring the continuous balance of supply and demand, maintaining grid security and stability.

They operate independently from market participants to provide non-discriminatory access to the transmission grid.

Transmission system operators are vital players in market coupling algorithms in European power markets.

Important to know about BRP applications

The BRP application process varies across different TSOs and regions. It typically requires detailed documentation, including financial guarantees and technical capability assessments, among others. Missing deadlines and incomplete submissions can lead to significant delays.

Leveraging our experience and established relationships with TSOs and supporting institutions, Time2Market’s experts ensure a smooth and efficient process, minimizing potential obstacles.
