Website of the EIC Office

The EIC code (Energy Identification Code) was implemented by ENTSO-E, with the aim of creating a unique codification, after analysing the different codification systems used by the TSOs members of the organization. The administration and maintenance of the EIC Codes is responsibility of the Central Issuing Office - ENTSO-E’s Secretariat. Moreover, Local Issuing Offices were designated, one or several for each country belonging to the European Energy Market. Red Eléctrica de España was designated by ENTSO-E as Local Issuing Office of EIC codes for Spain, in order to handle the requests of the applicants registered in Spain. The EIC code allows the unique identification at a national and international level, in the Energy Markets.

The outstanding characteristics of the renovated website are:

  • Improvement of the security in the connection and user registry operations, and register, cancellation and modification of EIC codes.
  • Inclusion of automatic management of the new types of EIC codes: Z codes (measurement points, connection points) and Y codes (Areas).
  • Implementation of new utilities for localizing and searching EIC codes.
  • User identification while logged.
  • It makes easier to recover a forgotten password.
  • The new process has been implemented in accordance with the ENTSO-E Reference Manual version 5.1.
Red Eléctrica has developed an information system called the System Operator’s Information System (e•sios) to perform the tasks of information and processes management specifically related to the electricity market.
