Re-ingest note (2026-06-22): rescanned for the 2026/2027 season. New since the December 2025 capture: a new market area (Alvesta) and a 2026/2027 season webinar; the rest of the page is materially unchanged. The verbatim FAQ quotes captured in the original ingest have been paraphrased here (pre-publish copyright pass). The live page is bot-protected and not clippable; content below reflects maintainer-supplied excerpts plus the prior capture.

Summary

E.ON Energidistribution’s live commercial page for their flexibility market, targeting business customers who want to become flexibility service providers (FSPs). Confirms that SWITCH is E.ON’s active trading platform for local flexibility markets, lists the current geographic market areas, and provides operational details on the prequalification process, payment model, baseline methodology, and metering integration. As of the 2026/2027 season the page adds a new Alvesta market area and promotes a season overview webinar covering existing and new markets, products, remuneration models, participation requirements, and how to become a supplier. More current than the CoordiNet final report (2022) and confirms the platform is live and operational. Also references Villkorade Avtal as a complementary mechanism.

Active flexibility market areas (2026/2027 season)

E.ON operates flexibility markets in 12 geographic areas:

Page content (FAQ) — paraphrased

The page is structured as a customer FAQ. Summarised below in our own words; the original wording is E.ON’s.

• What flexibility is. Flexibility providers temporarily change their planned electricity behaviour to cut grid load at peak times, so the existing grid is used more efficiently and more customers can connect faster. Providers are paid either to reduce consumption or to increase (and feed in) their own production. Example resources: battery storage, air-source heat pumps, backup generators; smaller resources can participate aggregated via an aggregator.
• Why it is needed. As demand grows and new-grid permitting remains slow, congestion risk rises; flexibility uses today’s grid more efficiently and is framed as essential to electrification and the energy transition.
• Who can take part. Participation threshold is an order size of ≥0.1 MWh/h. Eligible parties: property owners with large premises, businesses, municipalities, and housing cooperatives (bostadsrättsföreningar); aggregators can pool many small resources (e.g. a group of villas with heat pumps and batteries).
• Payment model. Providers can be paid both for being available to deliver and for actually delivering; several products are offered.
• Capacity shortage (kapacitetsbrist). Congestion arises when the lines cannot carry the volume needed even when generation is available.
• How a dispatch (avrop) works. Participants get access to the SWITCH trading platform, where dispatch calls are posted; email/SMS notifications are available.
• How a provider is selected. The applicant submits facility ID and whether it can raise/lower production or adjust consumption, plus information on the business, its energy needs, recovery after delivery, and how active it wants to be; E.ON guides the prequalification. At a given time, the lowest activation-price bid is dispatched first (merit order).
• How a company qualifies. Process: submit an interest notification → dialogue on metering and baseline methodology → qualify via a simple form → training and a SWITCH account where resources are qualified for the local market.
• Baseline. The baseline (referensplan) is the provider’s consumption/production had no flexibility been delivered — normal use — used to validate delivery against metered data. An automatic baseline method is offered in SWITCH (introduced for the 2025/2026 season); alternatives are a provider-supplied baseline or zero-reference (nollreferens).
• Metering. SWITCH can read metering data directly from the facility’s smart meter (introduced for the 2025/2026 season, simplifying integration); sub-meter (undermätare) integration remains possible.

Season webinar (2026/2027)

E.ON promotes a recorded webinar (“Mer om årets lokala flexibilitetsmarknader 2026/2027”) giving an overview of its local flexibility markets ahead of the coming season — covering how a company can contribute and be paid, existing and new markets, available products, remuneration models, participation requirements, and how to become a supplier.

Key claims and observations

1. Minimum order size: 0.1 MWh/h — consistent with sthlmflex and the NC DR ACER recommendation’s lower bound; confirms E.ON operates at the 0.1 MW threshold
2. Eligible FSP types: property owners with large premises, businesses, municipalities, housing cooperatives (bostadsrättsföreningar) — and via aggregation, also smaller residential resources
3. Two-part payment confirmed: both availability fee and activation payment; “different products to choose from” (details not specified on this page)
4. Merit order clearing: lowest activation price is called first — consistent with CoordiNet design
5. Prequalification process: interest form → metering/baseline assessment → qualification form → training → SWITCH account access
6. SWITCH features as of 2025/2026:
   • Automatic baseline method now available (alternative to FSP-provided baseline or zero-reference)
   • Direct smart meter data integration (new; previously required sub-meter integration)
   • SMS/email notifications on dispatch calls (avrop)
7. 12 active geographic market areas for 2026/2027, with Alvesta as the new addition (5 MW estimated need, active ≥2031, 50–100 activation hours; covers Vislanda, Gemla, Rydaholm, Åby, Rottene, Moheda, Ivarsfors, Dänningelanda, Skatelöv, Alvesta Elnät). The previous-season additions (Bromölla-Sölvesborg, Älmhult-Osby) are now established.
8. Public market data: https://info.switchmarket.se/ — transparency mechanism for prices and volumes
9. Villkorade avtal referenced as a separate but related mechanism (linked from same page)
10. Season webinar (2026/2027): E.ON now fronts the page with a recorded overview of the coming season’s markets, products, remuneration models, and participation requirements — a sign of active FSP recruitment for 2026/2027
