Bus/Financial - Energy / Power Generation
German term or phrase: Anbieter von Ausgleichsenergie
What would you call Anbieter here, before I mention what I was thinking? This is not the actual passage, but this definition hits the nail on the head and the context is the same.

Anbieter von Ausgleichsenergie:
Lieferant, der die technischen Voraussetzungen erfüllt, am Ausgleichsenergiemarkt anzubieten.

Thanks all. I'm awarding the points to the first person providing the choice. Provider works (even in the definition). Supplier is okay, too, just not if I have to use it in the same sentence as Lieferant. I'll admit that my "offeror" choice was not the best.
