Balancing responsibility for electricity supply
As a Balance Responsible Party or BRP (Programmaverantwoordelijke, PV), you are responsible for planning the daily electricity transactions for the electricity grid administrators. You provide information to TenneT, as the Netherlands's sole grid operator, about this daily.
Applying for recognition as a BRP
You need to be recognised in order to function as a BRP. You can apply for full recognition or trade recognition. With the former, you may take balance responsibility for connections; with the latter, you may not. You can request recognition from TenneT.
