Customers

Oferentes y demandantes = suppliers and customers.

Not " consumers" here as we're all consumers of utilities, whereas we're customers of a particular utility supplier.
Note from asker:
Thanks Andrew! But this isn't talking about any utility company: it's talking about the whoelsale market. Plus, "libre entrada" does not seem to be a phrase that would ever apply to customers (we're not free to hire or not hire a certain company).

One of the main challenges in the emerging smart grid is to jointly consider the demand and supply, which is also reflected in the wholesale market (supply side) and the retail market (demand side). When integrating the demand and supply side into one framework, the mechanism for determining the market clearing price has been changed. This is due to the demand variations in the demand side in response to the market clearing price and the change of generation costs in the supply side from the demand variation. In order to find the best balance between the supply and demand under the demand response management scheme, this paper proposes a new integrated supply and demand coordination mechanism for the electricity market and smart pricing methods for generator and retailers.
