Get your Energy Identification Code (EIC)

The EIC codes are used for the official and unambiguous identification of the actors (SSO, Shipper, Trader, Producer, Exchange platform operator, ...) and interconnection points.

The idea is to harmonize and standardize electronic communication through unique energy identification codes that are used on the ENTSOE and ENTSOG Transparency platforms (GSE), in AS2 and AS4 communications, in Edig@s messages and for Remit.

Fluxys is recognized as Local Issuing Office (LIO) and can grant local EIC codes.

Edig@s is the electronic message standard for the gas market, enables gas actors from across Europe to exchange information in a simple, efficient and cost-effective way. Edig@s covers the major gas processes and responds to the needs of the major user segments (Traders, Shippers, SSOs).

The Edig@s specifications make use of internationally recognised information interchange standards. Edig@s is freely available and easy to implement. The European Commission recognised the value that the use of Edig@s can bring for the harmonisation of the European gas market.
