Decision: flexibility market asset registration
Summary
Ofgem decision on flexibility market asset registration. Companion to the July 2024 consultation; defines the registry rules that govern which assets are visible to the Market Facilitator.
Why it matters
Foundational layer for the Market Facilitator regime that went live in December 2025. The registration rules determine who participates in coordinated flexibility procurement. Tight registration excludes small or behind-the-meter assets; broad registration creates volume but raises governance cost.

Our decision After more policy development and analysis of consultation responses, we have decided that, alongside the enablers and design work, the Market Facilitator Elexon should also take on the role of Flexibility Market Asset Registration delivery body, responsible for the deployment, and operation of the new digital infrastructure. We have refined the scope, design principles, and functional outcomes that will be a starting point for the design of the digital infrastructure which Market Facilitator led Working Groups will develop further. We also expect the Interim Data Sharing Infrastructure Coordinator, when appointed, to work with the Market Facilitator to establish Flexibility Market Asset Registration as a use case of the Data Sharing Infrastructure. We will carry out further work to bring Flexibility Market Asset Registration into the role of the Market Facilitator, including consideration of any required impact assessment, cost benefit analysis, or modifications to licences and industry codes.
