ENERGY IDENTIFICATION CODES (EIC)

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. Since 1 March 2013, ENTSOG is acting as Local Issuing Office (LIO) for the EIC Scheme for natural gas transmission.

The Energy Identification Coding scheme (EIC) is standardised and maintained by ENTSO-E who acts as “Central Issuing Office” (CIO). EIC provide a unique identification of the market participants and other entities active within the Energy Internal European Market (IEM). It is widely used in the Electronic Document Interchange.
