About
The flexibility market platform facilitates easy trading of flexibility resources between transmission system operators (TSOs) and distribution system operators (DSOs), flexibility providers, and market operators.
Flexibility requests and offers follow specific flexibility product criteria, and the best match is determined from the offers to meet the needs, which is then shared with market participants.
An open and standardized flexibility market solution simplifies the entry of new flexibility service providers into the market. This fosters competition, ultimately driving down the costs of resources needed by the system operator.
Platform beneficiaries are:
- 1
FSP (Flexibility Service Provider)
- 2
SO (Electricity System Operators) Both transmission and distribution network operators
- 3
MO (Market Operator)
