The Energy Identification Code or EIC is a 16-character code used in Europe to uniquely identify entities and objects related to the electricity and gas sector.[1]
The EIC code is used for:
- Transmission System Operators, Market Participants etc.
- Transmission lines and Metering points
- Bidding Zones, Control Areas, Market Balance Areas etc.
- Substations, Generation units and Power plants
The EIC codes are used — among others — in the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform and in the ARIS platform, both supporting EU regulations on transparency and integrity.
Actors involved in the EIC coding scheme
The scheme is supported by a central issuing office (CIO), function exercised by ENTSO-E for both the electricity and the gas sectors) and ENTSO-E-authorised local issuing offices (LIOs) in Europe.
