Energy Identification Code

The Energy Identification Code or EIC is a 16-character identifier (code) used in Europe to uniquely identify market participants and energy resources (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.
