Energy Identification Code

Energy Identification Codes (EIC) are Europe-wide unique identification numbers for the identification of natural or legal persons (companies), territories and objects.

The European Network of Transmission System Operations for Electricity (ENTSO-E) is the European Central Issuing Office (CIO). In addition, there are local issuing offices (LIOs) at national level.

The BDEW Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft e. V. (Federal Association of the German Energy and Water Industries) performs the task of LIO for the German electricity market. Energy identification codes for the electricity market are issued and administered by BDEW subsidiary Energie Codes und Services GmbH.

The regulations for EIC allocation and use are described in the ENTSO-E EIC Reference Manual as well as the related implementation guidelines and documents ENTSO-E EIC data exchange implementation guide, Energy Identification Code - Short Guide and FAQ and the EIC list of allowed functions.

Disclaimer regarding liability:
Only EICs that have been published on the website of the central or local contracting authority are considered valid. The local contracting authority assumes no responsibility and accepts no liability for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by a company when applying for an EIC. Under no circumstances shall a local contracting authority be liable for any damages, including direct, indirect, general, specific, incidental, or consequential damages, arising from or related to incorrect or incomplete information provided by a company in connection with an EIC application.
