As an outcome of liberalisation of the European electricity market, there has been a significant increase in the number of cross-border transactions concluded and in the number of entities participating in electricity exchanges. In order to improve the quality of processing of such transactions, Transmission System Operators took the necessary measures aimed at enhancing data exchange efficiency. The Association of European Transmission System Operators (ETSO) has established Task Force EDI - Electronic Data Interchange, whose aim is to develop a uniform European electronic data exchange format (ESS - ETSO Scheduling System) used for information on cross-border exchanges between various entities operating on the international power market. A part of this system is the Energy Identification Coding Scheme (EIC) used for the unique identification of the European energy market players.
