What is proposed?

These rules are designed to align markets, improve coordination, and reduce barriers to entry for market participants, ultimately unlocking the full value of flexibility markets.

This consultation is being issued together with the market facilitator governance documents consultation due to their shared importance in establishing a robust and transparent framework for flexibility markets.
