Demand-side flexibility has the potential to make a greater contribution to the functioning of
electricity markets, safe operation of the network and security of supply. However, access to
the markets is hindered by a number of obstacles. Following analysis and broad consultation
with the market players, the CREG proposes a commercial market model for the demand-side
flexibility. The model is based on 10 principles, two new roles and a diagram illustrating how
the various roles interact.
Summary
In the context of the model, the end customer plays a central role as the holder of the
demand-side flexibility, entitled to leverage it with the flexibility service provider of their
choice without opposition from the balance responsible party. Two compensation measures
have been established to facilitate this choice: a transfer of balance responsibility and financial
compensation negotiated between the energy supplier and the flexibility service provider.
This model ensures that commercially sensitive data is kept confidential, through centralised
management of the data on the flexibility volume, and recognises the end customer the right
to hold measuring and metering data and to transmit them freely.
In order to facilitate access to the demand-side response for TSO products, the CREG also
recommends that such products are defined on the basis of the needs of the TSO rather than
on the characteristics of the technology.
