GME informs Market Participants that, as of today, with the publication on its website, the amendments to the Local Flexibility Market Regulations (MLF Regulations) – together with the updated versions of the related Technical Rules – have entered into force. The amendments have been made under article 3, paragraph 3.5 of the MLF Regulations, with a view to introducing into the MLF the additional features required for the start of trading on the Local Spot Flexibility Market (MLP-Flex).

In particular, in the MLP-Flex, DSOs will be able to procure flexibility for providing local ancillary services, for relevant periods included in a one-day timespan, through the distributed resources managed by each BSP.

Finally, GME points out that trading on the MLF is open to all DSOs – in addition to the current one, Areti S.p.A – wishing to procure flexibility resources and adopting pilot projects similar to Romeflex.
