About

Purpose

The purpose of the Stakeholder Advisory Board (SAB) is to provide open and transparent governance in an advisory capacity.

The SAB ensures that the Flexibility Market Rules and associated processes are governed and overseen to benefit the wider flexibility market.

It is a critical function of the market facilitator to uphold transparency, accountability, and compliance across the flexibility market landscape.

Objectives

The Stakeholder Advisory Board’s objectives are to:

• Ensure transparency and accountability – hold the market facilitator accountable for delivering transparent, objective, and consistent outputs aligned with the Authority-owned Governance Framework Document and any ancillary documents.
• Support the market facilitator in delivering its objectives – offer constructive feedback on the market facilitator budget, delivery plan, and the Flexibility Market Rules to enhance decision-making quality.
• Support policy alignment – advise on alignment of the market facilitator’s activities with national policy objectives and identify regulatory barriers.

The board’s role, membership, and responsibilities are set out in the Stakeholder Advisory Board Terms of Reference.
