Who holds the BRP role?
Two models, depending on how you want to operate.
n:lead is the BRP
Your portfolio runs in a balancing group n:lead holds with the German TSOs. You need no balancing group contract and no collateral with the TSO.
You can be the BRP
If you prefer your own balancing group, n:lead runs it for you on the Engrate platform.
Built on Engrate
n:lead runs scheduling, market communication and settlement for all four German TSOs on the Engrate platform. That is why we can start in weeks and connect through an API.
