Public consultation on the modifications to the Terms & Conditions for Balance Responsible Parties (T&C BRP)

Context

The current revision of the T&C BRP serves to accommodate two changes. The first change concerns updates related to the adaptations in the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) and Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) processes. The second change relates to updates that are required for both the T&C BRP and the Access Contract to allow for the possibility to assign multiple BRPs on Delivery Points behind a given Access Point. This is in addition to the current system already in place to assign multiple BRPs on the Access Point itself. The process to assign multiple BRPs on a Delivery Point behind an Access Point is currently used by several market parties in the form of a Letter of Intent, with name ‘Service Multiple BRP’, which has a fixed end date. As was requested by the market parties, an overlap is foreseen in the public consultation period of both the T&C BRP and the Access Contract, so both documents can be compared, and relevant feedback can be given on the intersection between the two contracts. 

Consultation period

Elia invites all stakeholders to submit any comments or feedback they may have on the consulted document via the online form during the consultation period from 20 September 2024 to 18 October 2024.

After the consultation period, Elia will collect all comments and feedback from market participants. Elia will analyse these comments and integrate them into a consultation report which will also include Elia's responses to the feedback received. In addition to the consultation report, Elia will publish the reactions of the market players (in a named manner) on the website, unless it is explicitly stated that the contribution is to be considered confidential. The consultation report, as well as the T&C BRP (possibly adapted to take into account market party feedback) will then be submitted to relevant regulators for regulatory approval.
