Does a company need to be a balance responsible party to submit a bid to Svenska kraftnät?

Since 2024, the BSP is the market participant responsible for submitting bids on the ancillary services markets.

To deliver ancillary services to Svenska kraftnät, one must either be a BSP or enter into an agreement with another company that is a BSP. For the time being, becoming a BSP also requires that the actor is a BRP at the delivery point intended for providing the ancillary services. Actors who do not hold the BRP role at the delivery point cannot currently deliver ancillary services to Svenska kraftnät from that location.
