If you are a load controller or OEM, please use the following definitions to determine which role(s) apply to your organisation (You can select more than one option)

Energy Supplier – Flexibility Service Provider: ES – FSPs are either owned by energy suppliers or are energy suppliers that provide both Implicit (consumer-driven, responding to price changes) and Explicit DSR (direct control or request from grid operators or aggregators to manage energy demand). Pure Play – Flexibility Service Provider: PP-FSPs are organisations that provide flexibility services which include both Explicit and Implicit flexibility services but are not an energy supplier. They provide flexibility services where the connection to the device is agnostic to the Device Manufacturer. They either connect to assets via an API to the backend of the Device Manufacturer’s cloud environment or develop an integrated control unit that connects to devices. Technology Platform Providers: TPPs operate consumer devices on behalf of Energy Suppliers. They connect to assets via the backend of the device manufacturer’s cloud environments. Device Manufacturers FSPs: DM-FSPs are organisations that provide flexibility services which include both Explicit and Implicit DSR but are not an energy supplier. They provide Domestic-scale DSR services for devices that they manufacture and directly operate. Device Manufacturers: DMs are organisations that do not provide flexibility services directly but instead manufacture Energy Smart Appliances that support DSR type services to the energy industry and consumers. Load Control Aggregators: LCAs are organisations that specialise in managing and controlling energy loads across multiple devices and systems. They provide Explicit DSR services by directly controlling or requesting adjustments to energy consumption from connected devices to balance grid demand. LCAs can work independently or in collaboration with energy suppliers, technology platform providers, and device manufacturers to optimise energy usage and enhance grid stability. None of the above apply.
