Service Providing Group
A group of controllable units to be used in a flexibility product on the market.
For more information about the service providing group (SPG) concept and its role in the flexibility structure, see Conceptual Model and Terminology.
Status transitions for service providing group
The following diagram shows the status and its transitions for service providing groups.
The service provider is responsible for creating a new service providing group.
Initially, the status is set to new. Once the SPG registration is complete,
the service provider updates the status to active. SPG grid prequalification
resources are created on activation for each impacted system operator.
The service provider can terminate the service providing group at any time.
After termination, the status can only be edited by a FIS operator.
