Market Operator

A Market Operator is an organization responsible for managing and overseeing the functioning of a marketplace, particularly in the energy sector. It ensures that electricity or other commodities are bought and sold efficiently, reliably, and fairly. The Market Operator coordinates generation, transmission, and consumption, sets rules for market activities, manages supply and demand balance, and maintains transparency. Essentially, it acts as a neutral facilitator that creates a structured environment where market participants can trade securely, helping to maintain stability and fairness in the marketplace.
