Legal basis
- §10 Förordning (2022:585) om elnätsverksamhet requires distribution network companies to develop and submit flexibility service specifications and standardized market products to Ei for approval

Who developed the products
The standardized products were developed by industry actors and draw on experience from:
- EU project CoordiNet
- Swedish flex markets: sthlmflex, E.ON’s flex markets, Effekthandel Väst, JämtFlex, Vattenfall Eldistribution’s dialogue with flexibility service providers
- Contributing organizations: Energiföretagen Sverige, Svenska kraftnät, NODES, E.ON SWITCH, Power Circle
How other nätföretag can apply
- Network companies using or planning to use flexibility services can apply for their own product approval
- It is possible to apply to use the already-approved standardized products (no need to develop new specifications)
- Application form is available from Energiföretagen Sverige
Ei’s position
Ei views the work positively: the approved products contribute to increased harmonization and transparency. The products enable the network companies that applied to use common and harmonized products for market-based flexibility procurement, creating clarity and transparent conditions for market actors.
