Local electricity generators Central electricity generators CREG / VREG Importers of natural gas Elia Fluxys Fluxys Distribution grid operators ESCO’s Suppliers Aggregators ESCO ESCO staat voor ‘energy service company’: een commercieel of niet-commercieel bedrijf dat een brede waaier energiediensten kan aanbieden. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de planning of uitvoering van projecten voor energiebesparing of energie-opslag, de uitbesteding van energie-infrastructuur en risicobeheer op het vlak van energie. Balance Responsible Party (BRP) Een BRP of ‘evenwichtsverantwoordelijke’ is een natuurlijke persoon of rechtspersoon die zich verantwoordelijk stelt dat het elektriciteitsverbruik of de –productie van één of meerdere klanten overeenstemt met een vooraf vastgelegd profiel. Op die manier is de BRP verantwoordelijk voor het evenwicht tussen de injecties en de afnames van elektriciteit of aardgas op het net. Elke energieleverancier moet verplicht een contract afsluiten met een BRP. Flexibility Service Provider (FSP) Een FSP is een onderneming die het flexibel energieverbruik van een netgebruiker (producent of consument), kan activeren en contracteren. Door die flexibiliteit aan te bieden aan een derde partij kan het bedrijf bijdragen tot het evenwicht tussen vraag en aanbod van elektriciteit. Voorwaarde is wel dat de FSP’s, en de klanten in hun portefeuille, voldoen aan alle voorwaarden van de transport- en distributienetbeheerders. Aggregator Een aggregator is een onderneming die het flexibel energieverbruik of de productie van een groep energieverbruikers inkoopt, samenvoegt en als geheel op de markt brengt. Een aggregator is dus een ‘flexibility service provider’ met een verzamelde hoeveelheid energieverbruik die op afstand kan worden in- of uitgeschakeld. Door die flexibiliteit aan te bieden aan een derde partij kan het bedrijf bijdragen tot het evenwicht tussen vraag en aanbod van elektriciteit. Voorwaarde is wel dat de aggregatoren, en de klanten in hun portefeuille, voldoen aan alle voorwaarden van de transport- en distributienetbeheerders.
